ASP to HTML without 404 error page

[famh]

Hi,

How to convert my ASP pages into Static HTML pages, I mean generate Static HTML pages from ASP page to avoid Long URLs in order to make the URL friendlier for bookmarking.

Instead of having:

http://www.MySite.com/EBooks/ViewBooks.asp?bookid=42

I have

http://www.MySite.com/Ebooks/42.htm


When the user looks for ASP books for example. He/she types ASP in the textbox. Then 17 ASP titles are displayed. When he/she clicks on the desired book, an HTML page is generated with the name of the book or ID whatever. The HTML page will be like a query, it won't be saved.

Thanks a lot

Use a server side redirection. Have every page that goes to http://www.MySite.com/Ebooks/ redirected to a specific page that parses the URL and performs the requested lookup. I would make it work with a URL like http://www.MySite.com/Ebooks/42 instead of adding the unnecessary ".htm" part though.
