I'm trialing the software now, but I'm confused about a couple of things.  I'm using the RegExp of @[^?]+\.asp for my directory.

1. The list of recommended substitution characters does not include  a hyphen ("-").  Are there potential problems with this?

2. I use some JavaScript popups that look like this:

<a href="#null" onClick="newWindow('imagepop.asp?img=123.jpg')">

The link works, but when the image displays in the window, it displays an image name of 123.jpg.asp, which is a little odd.  How do I correct this?

3. I use some JavaScript links that look like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
     <!--
      document.write('<a href="login.asp?ReturnTo=https://www.domain.com/process1.asp?idProduct=101">');
     //-->
     </script> 

As you can tell, the login script redirects to the passed absolute URL following login.  These don't work well with LinkFreeze active.  How should I handle these?

4. If I need all absolute links rewritten except for links to external payment systems like PayPal, how do I handle that?  Ideally, I would like all absolute links that start with my domain to be rewritten, but no links to other domains.

5. Finally, I would like to replace the asp extension with htm, but I can't get that to work.  I have entered asp in the file extension box, and checked and unchecked the option to move the file extension to the end of the URL, but all I get when I do this is page not found.  Any ideas what I might be doing wrong here?

Thanks!

Thanks for your help.  Using "/" instead of the regex pattern did help.

Here's my site:

http://www.vantiquities.com/janusantiquities

Click on one of the images, then try the "Add to wish list" option.  It should take you to the login screen.

Here's my config:

#################################################
# LinkFreeze Configuration file
# Version 2, 2, 0, 66

LogRewrite=False
NotifyOrder=MEDIUM

/  --- .asp  [MoveExt,AbsLinks,Redirect,Lowercase]

Regarding my question #2, where you suggested that the code calculates an invalid path -- I'm not sure how the image could be displayed if the path was invalid.  Have a look here:

http://www.vantiquities.com/janusantiquities/store/viewitem-idproduct-154-large-0.htm

Click on one of the smaller images below the item description.  In IE7, a path is displayed in the popup window, and that path has ".htm" following the ".jpg" of the image name.  This seems like a bug to me -- the option is to replace "asp" with "htm", but there is no "asp" in the URL to the image.

In imagepop.asp, the following happens:

<%
strImage = request.querystring("img")
%>
<img src="catalog/<%=strImage%>" border="0">

I don't see anything wrong with this, do you?

1. The link is not "corrupted" on the server.  This ASP has been in place just fine for five years.  I have disabled LinkFreeze on the site now so you can see the link as it was before LinkFreeze garbled it.  (Please, just try a link like this on your test server.)  Here's the original link:

https://www.vantiquities.com/janusantiquities/store/login.asp?ReturnTo=https://www.vantiquities.com/janusantiquities/store/customerwishlistadd.asp?idProduct=161

LinkFreeze can't handle the URL passed to the login.asp script.  That's a problem in LinkFreeze, not the ASP code.

2. No, that was not the initial link, which is why I posted it on the forum.  If you read my first post in this thread, you'll see that the link originally was:

http://www.vantiquities.com/janusantiquities/store/imagepop.asp?img=2006SA10c.jpg

and LinkFreeze incorrectly added the asp (or htm, depending on the LF config) to the end of the image name.  This is most definitely a bug in your code.

I'm confused.  I need absolute links within my domain to be transformed, but not external links.  Since this link is within my domain, won't it get transformed?

I certainly didn't expect it.  I would think a better solution is to look at the end of the link before transformation, and if it contains an image extension, don't add the htm extension.
