sflb.ashx to file mimetype
Hi,
We are currently in the process of upgrading our Sitefinity 3.7 based website to 4.0 and have found that the extension sflb.ashx no longer exists in 4.0. Meaning that all static links to all files that were in Libraries now no longer point to their intended files, ie images referenced in the CSS.
I was just wondering if you had any short winded suggestions on how to get around this issue?
Thanks,
Louis
Hi Louis Farrell,
Are you using this migration tool?
Actually, no matter if you use it or not, my suggestion is to implement your own custom HttpModule, which will handle the old links and redirect (with permanent redirect) them to the new ones. For example:
public class BackwardHttpModule : IHttpModule public void Dispose() public void Init(HttpApplication context) context.BeginRequest += new EventHandler(context_BeginRequest); void context_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e) HttpContext context = ((HttpApplication)sender).Context; if (context.Request.RawUrl.EndsWith("sflb.ashx")) // Find the new item URL and redirect to it protected void Redirect(string url) HttpResponse response = HttpContext.Current.Response; response.Status = "301 Moved Permanently"; response.AddHeader("Location", url); response.End();
