IIS 7 doesn't do a 301 redirect
- by rohde
Hi there!
I have just migrated some sites to IIS7 from IIS6, and am experiencing problems with one of the sites.
When a request comes in for the site (www.ourdomain.com/site1/) with a trailing slash everything is fine. But if the trailing slash is left out (www.ourdomain.com/site1), then the request fails.
Apparently it doesn't do a 301 redirect on the slashl-less URL, resulting in ASP.NET throwing an exception. This is not happening with the other sites at the same domain.
What can be the cause of this?
EDIT:
The exception I get is this:
System.Web.HttpException: Failed to Execute URL.
at System.Web.Hosting.
ISAPIWorkerRequestInProcForIIS6.BeginExecuteUrl(String url, String method, String childHeaders, Boolean sendHeaders, Boolean addUserIndo, IntPtr token, String name, String authType, Byte[] entity, AsyncCallback cb, Object state)
