We have a sharepoint farm and we created a new site collection and moved contents of a sub site to this new site collection. That part was easy. We have about 4000 links to the documents (word and pdf) on another external application that can't be easily changed. Ideally, we would like insert "/sites/" into the old URL string when the request hits a WFE, redirecting the request to the new document location.
I am using the URL ReWrite Module v2 to ReDirect short url's and a home page but so far have been unable to come up with the correct redirect for this situation. An example of the url is:
OLD
http://internal/policies/peachtree/leave.pdf
NEW
http://internal/sites/policies/peachtree/leave.pdf
It is my understanding that SharePoint 2010 does not support ReWrites but it does support ReDirects.
thanks!
