<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a site that we are redeveloping that has to stay on the current host/environment. We do not have access to creating any type of redirection from .htm or .html files to any other type of files. However, we can create a custom 404 page.<br />
<br />
The only server side scripting available is classic ASP (VBScript).<br />
<br />
What I would like to do is have the custom 404 page get the URL that was originally requested and then do a 301 redirect to the new page.<br />
<br />
Can someone tell me how to get the url that was originally requested in VBScript?

Custom 404 and 301's in ASP

Active Server Pages (ASP) is Microsoft’s first server-side engine for dynamic web pages. ASP’s support of the Component Object Model (COM) enables it to access and use compiled libraries such as DLLs. It has been superseded by ASP.NET, but will be supported by Internet Information Services (IIS) through at least 2022.

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.

VB Script

Web development includes all aspects of presenting content on intranets and the Internet, including delivery development, protocols, languages and standards, server software, browser clients, databases and multimedia generation.
