I want to do some 301 redirects based on complex validation of querystring parameters against data held in the database. I don't believe an HttpModule is the right way to go because I want the DNN environment to be available when I do the work and I don't believe the Portal would be configured within an HttpModule.

I could alter Default.aspx.vb and make it inherit from MyClass (which would inherit DotNetNuke.Framework.CDefault) but then I need to remember to re-do the changes after any DNN updates so this is not ideal.

Anyone got any ideas?

Regards,
Rhys

Actually, an HttpModule is the appropriate place to hook into the process.  The trick is to make sure that the module appears after the standard DotNetNuke HTTPModules, with the most important one being the UrlRewriter.  The UrlRewriter sets up the most important part of the environment which is the PortalSettings.  Once you have portalsettings, everything else is accessible through the API.

Hi Joe,

Thanks for the prompt reply - maybe I should have tried it before assuming it wouldn't work :(

As you pointed out the order of the HttpModules as defined in web.config is important. The only thing I would add for anyone else reading this is that the MembershipModule doesn't set the UserInfo until the AuthenticateRequest event of the HttpApplication object so this data isn't available in earlier events.

Thanks,
Rhys
