title: URL Redirection from a html page to an .aspx page
body: <p>I have a requirement where i have to use url redirection in my legacy web page (basically its a complete static html page).</p>
  
  <p>The requirement for me is to redirect the user everytime, from the static html page to a .aspx page </p>
  
  <p>i.e if my earlier page were found to be at </p>
  
  <pre><code>http://web.vatsag.com/app/en/downloadsite.htm
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>then i have to redirect to the following page (.aspx)</p>
  
  <pre><code>http://web.vatsag.com/app/newdownloadsite.aspx
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I went through the following links, which talks mainly redirection w.r.t ASP.NET</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/2538/URL-Rewriting-with-ASP-NET" rel="nofollow">http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/2538/URL-Rewriting-with-ASP-NET</a></p>
  
  <p>However,</p>
  
  <p>Since the pages are html. I presume by default not handled by the ASP.NET ISAPI filter</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone help me in achieving the same using any of the alternatives specified below ?</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Any particular setting that could be done on the IIS Side</p></li>
  <li><p>Programmatically achieving redirection using Meta Refresh (although i have heard this method is highly discouraged)</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance</p>
