PageXchanger for IIS is a software that eliminates file extensions in URLs and manages images and languages for enhanced security and user experience. Developed by Port80, it makes URLs shorter, protects underlying technology, and simplifies platform transitions.
PageXchanger is an IIS Web server module that offers a novel approach to web site content, source code, and URLs. With this software, developers can separate content from underlying web technology, enabling clean URLs in source code and web browser displays. This provides a powerful form of content negotiation, where web sites can eliminate and hide accessed file types from the site visitor. This makes IIS-based web sites more secure, user-friendly, and easier to maintain.
Clean URLs enable site security by masking the technology a web site is built upon from site visitors & potential hackers. This obscures the web site's technology platform and stops hacker exploits like direct URL guesses and source sifting. With PageXchanger, web sites can provide multiple forms of content, automatically. This makes it possible to deliver one page in multiple languages, with content served up appropriately based on the user's default language settings in their web browser.
Developers can present multiple forms of images or other data safely and easily without complex browser detection or rewriting the entire site. Persistent URLs can be presented in all company communications, avoiding annoying redirects or broken links. Migration from one technology to another, say from ColdFusion to ASP.NET, is reliable and transparent to end users.
PageXchanger is fully compatible with IIS 4/5/6 and Windows NT/2000/Server 2003, and is available for download with a 30-day full functional trial. In conclusion, PageXchanger and content negotiation offer improved security, usability, and maintainability for IIS-based web sites and applications.
