    Nice URL without .aspx

    Hi just wanted to check something out, found this guideline http://lynggaard.nu/2009/01/even-nicer-urls-in-umbraco/ ; from another post on here about niceurl's without the .aspx extension.

    Before I implement just wanted to check the following (I currently have .aspx extensions on my pages for my current site).

    If I implemented the wildcard mapping as discussed in the article if someone did still try to access SOMEPAGE.aspx would the server automatically direct them to SOMEPAGE. 

    Just wanted piece of mind for search engine purposes together with the ensuring that the numerous external links pointing to my site would still be valid.

    Cheers

    Matt

    Hi,

    I'm not sure if I understand correctly but you can get 'clean' URLs by simply setting 

    <add key="umbracoUseDirectoryUrls" value="true" /> in the web.config file

    Sorry, just re-read your post (and the edit feature messes up code!)

    The answer is yes, both /something/ and /something.aspx would continue to work.
