ASP Net FriendlyUrls appends existing url with new page url

Question

User564110403 posted

I have a Asp.Net windows form application. I have recently installed FriendlyUrls. As far as I navigate through page control the URL remains fine. But when I click on menu bar's link. The page's URL is added in front of old URL.

e.g. if I am on page url: xyz.com/House/abc and then I click on menu's Society link (href="/Societies.aspx") then the url becomes xyz.com/house/abc/Societies

Any help will be appreciated

It seems that the FriendlyUrls is working properly. What is your issue?

Edit:

Sorry there is my oversight. Now I understand that you expect that clicking a link of href="/Societies.aspx" in the page http(s)://xyz.com/house/abc results in request to url of http(s)://xyz.com/Societies.aspx NOT http(s)://xyz.com/house/abc/Societies.aspx.

Although I have tested in my environment i.e., Web Forms application generated by a template of Visual Studio 2019 in which the FriendlyUrls is enabled by default, I cannot reproduce your problem.

In my environment, clicking a link of href="/Societies.aspx" results in the request of https://<hostname>/Societies.aspx. On first request browser request https://<hostname>/Societies.aspx as is and the web server returns HTTP 301 Moved Permanently with Location: /Societies in response header. Then browser requests https://<hostname>/Societies accordingly and shows the page as expected.

After the first click browser always request https://<hostname>/Societies as the url is cached.

I do not know why your case is different from the above. I guess that something not mentioned in your question above causing your problem.

Hello,

Thanks or replying!!

I'm working on a real estate website. URL is like localhost:12345/Societies/Blocks/Houses.

Now, when I have reached Houses page and I click on Menu bar item (Societies) the expected URL is localhost:12345/Societies................Instead currently the URL becomes localhost:12345/Societies/Blocks/Societies...........

I hope I've explained my problem in a better way

You told us in your first post:

> if I am on page url: xyz.com/House/abc and then I click on menu's Society link (href="/Societies.aspx") then the url becomes xyz.com/house/abc/Societies

Now are you saying as follows?:

if I am on page url: localhost:12345/Societies/Blocks/Houses and then I click on menu's Society link (href="/Societies.aspx") then the url becomes localhost:12345/Societies/Blocks/Societies
