II6 ISAPI SEO rewrite rule re html extensions

[neilg63 Profile]

Hi,
Am a newcomer to II6 and would be grateful for help on this.

Within the httpd.ini file I can do a RewriteRule to give a SEO freindly url in place of a single html file thus;
RewriteRule /dir/article-test-one?$ /dir/article-test-one.html [L]

RewriteRule ^/article-test-one\.html DOMAIN/article-test-one [I,O,RP,L]

What I would like to do however is to apply a general rule so that ALL the HTML files within the directory "dir" are rewritten to lose their HTML extensions and have a general 301 redirect to say the same.

Is this possible within IIS6 ?
thanks
Neil

Hello, Neil

The rule should be like this:

RewriteRule /dir/(.*)\.html /dir/$1 [I,RP,L]
RewriteRule /dir/([^./]+)$ /dir/$1.html [I,L]

Perhaps for consistency yet the "looking motor issue" can be effectively settled making a revise decide that change each .html ask for into a .php one, with the goal Dissertation Writing Service | www.dissertationhub.co.uk that listed pages will be as yet reachable
