Special Page Parameters

[Noah Coad]

I want to be able to use this notation on my site:
http://coad.net/link/[idnum] Where [idnum] is some identifier, such as
http://coad.net/link/31234, and have 31234 be a parameter fed into a
script/aspx page. How would you go about doing this? I've seen plenty of
sites use this notation and would like to use it myself.

Thanks!

Noah,

Notation http://coad.net/link/31234 is a link to virtual directory
link/31234 on http server http://coad.net . The default page for the
directory will be called if you request this url. Notation for passing
parameters is
http://coad.net/link/myPage.aspx?myParam1=31234&myParam2=value2 . Or you can
use http://coad.net/link/myPage.aspx?31234. In the latter case page
myPage.aspx will get parameter named 31234 with no value.
