Hi, I am having an issue with my rewrite rule. For some reason the
crawlers are seeing the query string.

in my web.config i have this:

i am looking at my logs, and when it gets crawled i see this:
http://www.completepregnancy.com/users/luke-8.aspx?uid=8&uName=luke

why does the crawler see the uid and the uname? can i make it so they
don't see it? i did a search through my .net project to make sure i'm
not accidently supplying uid and uname and i'm not.

thanks.

Maybe on one of your Page you link to a page with querystring.

Hi, I am having an issue with my rewrite rule. For some reason the
crawlers are seeing the query string.

in my web.config i have this:

<add name="profile" virtualUrl="^~/users/(\w+)-(\d+)\.aspx"
rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString" destinationUrl="~/

profiles/profile.aspx?uid=$2&uName=$1" ignoreCase="true"/>

i am looking at my logs, and when it gets crawled i see this:
http://www.completepregnancy.com/users/luke-8.aspx?uid=8&uName=luke

why does the crawler see the uid and the uname? can i make it so they
don't see it? i did a search through my .net project to make sure i'm
not accidently supplying uid and uname and i'm not.

thanks.
