httphandler Hell

[CryoEnix]

Hey guys, quick question - this ones been bugging me for some time, and google hasnt been my friend on it.

Ive 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 dont know alot about httphandlers, but it sounds like a programming logic error, if you post the code that youd like to work differently we could try to help alter it.

If the handler isnt 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.
