Request.What?

I've experienced some confusion about the various Request properties that holds information about the current location. For example, what is the difference between Request.Path and Request.RawUrl? Well, if you're like me, check out the table in the pdf document below, which gives sample output data for a website that runs on the VS 2005 development server (Cassini). This website is locally placed at "C:\Websites\Website1" on the server.


The table can be found here: Request properties.pdf


Hope it's useful!

What is a boy to do?

Well, I'm back from the wild (Roskilde Festival and scout camp) and have just gotten used to a keyboard again.

I haven't been wasting my time since I got back however. I've been reading the Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006 white paper, and found it quite interesting at first. But then it suddenly hit me. How am I going to gain experience with a technology I can't even install?

First the short story about BizTalk server. It's an application that can integrate various business apps, such as ERP or CRM products. The problem is, I have no applications to integrate! The way I see it, I can only gain experience with BizTalk by coming across it in some company at random.

But anyway, I'll read the paper to end, and have it in the bag, just in case. Next I'm going to get acquainted with Sharepoint I think. It's a looong summer holiday :-)
