Default.asp? or /?

[fhlee]

Hi there,
Due to some SEO requirement, I have a very peculiar request... was scratching my head over this for a while but to no avail...

Does anyone know if I can tell, from within my ASP page, if the CURRENT page being run is default.asp or / ?

For example, google treat

http://www.xyz.com/

and

http://www.xyz.com/default.asp

as different pages. Is there anyway to tell if the current page being view is

http://www.xyz.com/default.asp

or

http://www.xyz.com/

(no default.asp --noting that default.asp is set as one of the default page).

Strange question? Hope someone can help me with this. Thanks!

If you want to check on the client side, use Javascript and check the location.href property.

On the server side, the URL is part of the server variables collection.

Hi Lee,
Thanks for replying. I am referring to the Server-Side.

I checked the ServerVariables (SCRIPT_NAME), but when I load the default.asp & just the /. The variable (SCRIPT_NAME) is still the same... Any other ways? Thanks in advance

Here's a link to the ASP server variables collection:

If you use URL instead of SCRIPT_NAME, you should get the URL.

Hi trollacious,
Thanks for replying. I tried. BOTH SCRIPT_NAME and URL returns "/default.asp" for BOTH

http://www.xyz.com/default.asp

and

http://www.xyz.com/

In fact, I checked all the ServerVariables... I can't seems to find a variable there that can differentiate this particular case

It is the REQUESTED URL that you need to check for having the default page in NOT the delivered page

301 Redirects On Windows

has code to redirect from non-

http://www to

http://www versions

and to remove the default page name from request
