    Hello

    I want to know if its possible to re-write a URL like this:
    www. doo. co. uk/example/example/productsCat~prodID~19~prod~Bell%20and%20Bells.htm

    into something like this: www. doo. co .uk/example/example/bell-and-bells.htm

    using classic asp. This might sound stupid but i have no access to the IIS server and i cant find their web.config file either so i can only try and code it. I tried Google but i haven't really found much

    thanks in advance.

    No, not really.
    ASP.NET however can do rewrites natively in MVC3 or via custom http handlers.

    There are a number of workarounds depending on the environment.

    - If you are using IIS7 you can do rewrites through the web.config.
    - if you are using older versions then you can try isapi modules like isapirewrite or iirf on codeplex
    - if you are on an older version with shared hosting and the provider will not allow you to install isapi modules then you could code a solution using 404 redirects and server transfer,
