In the transition of a website from one domain to another for exmaple
from www.oldsite.com to www.newsite.com I need to "rewrite" the URL so
all links to the old site will be linked to the new site as follows:
1. For URLs that reference pages:
Change http://www.oldsite.com/dir1/content/content.aspx?p1=1&p2=2
into http://www.newsite.com/dir1/content/content.aspx?p1=1&p2=2
2. For URLs that reference sub domains:
Change http://subdomain.oldsite.com to http://subdomain.newsite.com
3. For URLs that reference sub folders
change http://www.oldsite.com/sub1
to http://www.newsite.com/sub1
How can it be done?
If it can be done with RewritePath method of HTTPContext, can someone
show me simple code?
Thanks

Find & Replace?

I tested that and could not get it work. As I understand (unless I am
missing something here)  HTTPContext.RewritePath can change the
"internal path" only such as  http://www.oldsite.com/product1 to
http://www.oldsite.com/products.aspx?id=1. It cannot change it to
http://www.newsite.com/product1. Is there a way to change the URL
itself and not only the internal path?
I can use redirect but that gets tricky. When I tried it I got into a
loop as the redirection triggered the handler again and again. I might
be doing something wrong.
Do you have any idea how can do that?
Thanks

The RewritePath only works within application. You can not rewrite path to 
different URL than the one that is "belongs" to the application.

Hence you can not Rewrite it to different domain name. Response.Redirect 
should work just fine.
Why do you redirect to the http://www.newsite.com/product1

Your newsite.com should do the Rewrite to /products.aspx?id=1
