I have been trying to rewrite the URL in classic ASP. I am currently using IIS 7.5. I tried to use the URL Rewrite plugin which converts the following link:
http://blog.johnavis.com/blog/default.asp?id=19
into something like this:
blog.johnavis.com/19/
blog.johnavis.com/id/19/
blog.johnavis.com/blog/default/19
blog.johnavis.com/blog/default/id/19
I want to convert into something like this:
http://blog.johnavis.com/blog/myblog/
Can that be achieved? Any help would be appreciated.
Basically all the rewrite module does is to edit your web.config file. You're probably better off editing the file yourself. You'll find that it has created a section called rewrite, add the following rule
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="My Blog">
<match url="blog/myblog/" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="blog/default.asp?id=19" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
You can achieve this by creating URL rewrite rule in IIS Manager by defining a pattern. Use the following links to learn about that.

Hope this helps...
