Hide url suffix in browsers? 1

[sickpuppy]

I am curious to know how to remove the file suffixes from a website url in browsers

How can I make my url look like

http://www.thissite.com/information

instead of

http://www.thissite.com/information

.asp

Hope someone can help

what you are seeing here is the browser pointing at a folder as opposed to a file.

Your webserver will have settings for default pages to be displayed from a folder. If you have a NT server these will default.htm, default.asp, index.htm and index.asp in that order of priority unless you change the settings in IIS.

for example if i had folder called information and inside this my page named index.htm then by entering

http://www.myurl.com/information

the browser would request the default page from the folder named information. Being as there is no page called default.htm the server would return the index.htm page though the address bar would just show the folder name.

hope this helps
