title: IIS Rewrite rules stripping .ASPX, but Google Analytics still showing
body: <p>I've implemented IIS 7.0 rewrite rules for my site which strips out the .aspx extension, makes the URL lower case, and strips "default.aspx" to clean up the URL, and all of the rewrite rules work great.</p>
  
  <p>However, in looking through my google analytics reports for a time period after the rules were put into production, under "Behavior", "Site Content", some of the entries still show the extension.  For example, it shows these pages being hit:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/about/
  /about/default.aspx
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>There is no way the rule isn't working for /about/default.aspx, and I can go to that URL and it redirects to /about/</p>
  
  <p>So what is going on here?  Analytics shouldn't know anything about default.aspx since all of those rules are done on the server before anything is returned to the client.</p>
