Re: 301 redirect on windows server (not asp)?

That is useless in this situation as it relies on the fact you have admin access to the server. Not having admin access basically means you are screwed for .htm files, as the .net method will not trap them.

I'm sure others will find it useful however.

The only resolution here is to implement a custom 404 error handler in ASP, or .net and to scrape the requested url, analyse it and deal with it in script - ultimately issuing a 301 redirect that way.

Anyway, wgrasty'ss problem has now been resolved with the above method
