Proper way to handle a redirect?

[CheckOne]

Hi I have 4 domains that are all similar and I want to redirect them to one. I created an Active Server Document and wrote something like this:

<script runat="server" Language="c#">

public void Page_Init(Object Src, EventArgs E)

{

switch((Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_HOST"]).Replace("www.",""))

{

case "site-1.com":

Response.Redirect("http://mainsite.com");

break;

case "site2.net":

Response.Redirect("http://mainsite.com");

break;

case "site2inc.com":

Response.Redirect("http://mainsite.com");

break;

default:

Response.Redirect("");

break;

}

}

</script>

But the original domain is still showing in the URL bar. So if I type www.site-1.com it shows as www.site-1.com, not mainsite.com. So I am assuming that the redirect is not working. So I was wondering if I did something wrong here or how I should be doing this?

Thanks for the help. I appreciate it. :)

Also, I now change the path for the other sites to the root and get a Server error... So I'm assuming that wasn't right. I don't know how else to direct this to the Active Scrit file. Edit * Actually that only happens if I type the www.?

What's your web server software?

I'm going to assume IIS. For this I did it by creating 5 different sites in the same pool and then on each one there should be a way to configure a redirect in the GUI.

As for the typing www or not if you right click on each site in IIS and go to 'bindings' I think it is you can add extra domain names. I had to manually add the www on mine as well as the non-www version.

use a .htacces file to redirect, it's the fastest and best way in my opinion.

web.config might be more appropriate if it's an IIS based system...

I didn't knew it was a ISS based system :p
