Redirect URL script

[wlfpackr]

Hopefully this is an easy one for you as my ASP/VBScripting is VERY rusty. I want to use an ASP script to redirect the web site visitor depending on what subdomain they enter. So let's say you have a site called XYZ.com. i.e. if the user types in

http://www.xyz.com

it hits an index.asp script first which is a simple IF THEN script that would tell the browser...

If

http://www.xyz.com

is URL go to ..\index.html
If users.xyz.com is URL go to ..\users\index.html
If support.xyz.com is URL go to ..\support\index.html

Many moons ago I remember writing a script for a web site that did this, but I haven't written any VB code in so long I can't for the life of me remember how I did it.

You'll want to check out the server variables collection:

also make sure you set up your dns and webserver correctly to serve multiple subdomains from a single site.

If interested, here was the code I used.

 <%@ Language=VBScript %>
    <% response.buffer = True %>
    <%

'This script will redirect a user to a particular part of the website
'Depending on what URL they typed in.
'


'Create variables
     Dim strURL		'This is the URL the user typed into the browser
    
'Assign user-typed URL to variable strURL
     strURL = Request.servervariables("HTTP_HOST")
    

If strURL = "[URL unfurl="true"]http://users.xyz.com"[/URL] THEN
     Response.Redirect "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.xyz.com/users/index.html"[/URL]

Else If strURL = "[URL unfurl="true"]http://support.xyz.com"[/URL] THEN
     Response.Redirect "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.xyz.com/support/index.html"[/URL]

Else 
     Response.Redirect "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.xyz.com/index.html"[/URL]

End If



    %>

I changed some of the information in there so hopefully I didn't end up with any typos.

Seems to me you can do this on the server (instead of in a script) as well...

ummm.... multi-homing does it all the time.

So you could have xyz.com and abc.com on the same server....
