Fixing Form Action on UrlRewrite

IF you're rewriting URL's, you've probably come across the same problem I had.

When posting back on the page, the real URL is used.. this is a real pain if you're writing a page which uses the RawUrl to serve up relevant content.

I had a good look around the web for a solution. These ranged from creating a custom HtmlForm control to replacing the form tag in the App_Browsers folder.

The following is simple and worked for me.

Place the following code in the Page_Load of the page you're serving up.

HttpContext.Current.RewritePath(HttpContext.Current.Request.RawUrl);

Hope this helps.
