httphandler Hell

[CryoEnix]

Hey guys, quick question - this one's been bugging me for some time, and google hasn't been my friend on it.

I've set up a httphandler in my web.config to transfer a url. For example, typing the following into the address bar:

http://mysite.com/Articles/Default.aspx

will transfer the user to:

http://mysite.com/content.aspx?type=articles

However, the user must explicitly type:

http://mysite.com/Articles/Default.aspx

Is it possible to account for this so that the user can miss off the filename, and it will default to default.aspx?

Cheers in advance!

I don't know alot about httphandlers, but it sounds like a programming logic error, if you post the code that you'd like to work differently we could try to help alter it.

If the handler isn't enabled what happens if they do not specify a filename? You might be able to configure default.aspx to be the default page under IIS - never tried it when using an httphandler though.
