ASP.NET - Button clicks not firing on the home page

We noticed while working on this site (we actively develop the site, but we also use it all day long in our day job <smiles>) that the Search feature didn't work on the home page. But, it worked on any other page.

Put another way, if we were on http://DynDeveloper.com it would not work, but if we were on http://DynDeveloper.com/default.aspx it would work.

Grrr.

I'm not going to tell you that I understand the answer... it's posted in full here:

but I can tell you what I did to fix it: I placed this code in the Global.asax

Sub Application_BeginRequest(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
    Dim app As HttpApplication = CType(sender, HttpApplication)
    If app.Context.Request.Url.LocalPath.EndsWith("/") Then
        app.Context.RewritePath(String.Concat(app.Context.Request.Url.LocalPath, "default.aspx"))
    End If
     
End Sub
