301 redirecting urls with : in the url
I've set up at site in umbraco and need to redirect pages from the old site to the new pages on the umbraco site.

the problem is some of the old php page has colons in the url, like:
```
http://mysite.com/articles/view/65/menu:profile
```
i cant redirect it using urlrewriting as i get the error
```
Server Error in '/' Application.
A potentially dangerous Request.Path value was detected from the client (:).
```
Any ideas?

Hi Claus

We use ISAPI rewrite at Tea Solutions to do the url rewriting - maybe that could do the trick for you. I think they have a free version you can try

Or try the IIS UrlRewriting plugin; http://www.iis.net/download/urlrewrite

Maybe this plugin will be further up the request pipeline than the security check so you can avoid it...

Check this out http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.configuration.httpruntimesection.requestpathinvalidcharacters.aspx

You can put this in your web.config:

<system.web>

<httpRuntime requestValidationMode="2.0" requestPathInvalidCharacters="<,>,*,%,&,\\" />

In other words, removing the colon from the default set of validation characters.
