Yes, umbraco doesn't handle requests other than *.aspx and directory URL's, so the 301 URL Tracker isn't receiving the request.

Thanks for responding.

I just thought that I pointed .html to aspnet_isapi and that's where you're handler might catch it - but your answer says that the package work in Umbraco context, only handling what hits Umbraco and not the website aspnet context. 

Any pointers? UrlRewriting? Another package?

Sidenode - I still think it's odd that any .html page request comes up blank.

Thx,

I'm also going to work with Lee Messenger to create a nicer version of the 301 URL Tracker, which likely will work through an HttpModule instead of 404handlers, so it's not dependent on umbraco anymore.

Thanks again. That pointed me to the solution. Here's the two rewrites:

       <add name="html"
               redirect="Domain"
               ignoreCase="true" rewriteUrlParameter="IncludeQueryStringForRewrite"
               virtualUrl="(.*)\.html"
               redirectMode="Permanent"
               destinationUrl="$1.aspx" />
        <add name="htm"
               redirect="Domain"
               ignoreCase="true" rewriteUrlParameter="IncludeQueryStringForRewrite"
               virtualUrl="(.*)\.htm"
               redirectMode="Permanent"
               destinationUrl="$1.aspx" />

quick note related to if you use the 301 tracker .. when adding custom redirects you need to change the extension to .aspx like this:

Old page url you want to catch
/whatever.html

Add the following to 301 tracker in stead:
/whatever.aspx

This will serve your whatever.html

This I guess results in double 301 - if anyone has any comments on that I'm all ears.

Thx

You should do a rewrite, not redirect (rewrite .html to .aspx) and then give the 301 response via the URL Tracker, so it will give 301 on the original request.

Also you can combine the two rules you've created by using this as the virtualUrl: "(.+)\.html?"

Sure U mean virtualUrl: "(.+)\.html?"

and not  virtualUrl: "(.+)\.htm?"

(I'm officially declaring myself incompatible with regexp :)

Thanks for your time. It was just that I saw the HTML in the virtualUrl="(.+)\.html?" - and that looks like it only hits the .html extension and ? is the joker for 1 char right?

I'm just gonna try :-)
