returnURL removing friendlyURL values

Question

When users login from the main page it sends an id as part of the friendly URL

e.g.

https://MyDomain.com/Secure/Landing/23

Where landing is Landing.aspx and 23 is the ID. This is redirected back to the login page, but now we have

https://MyDomain.com/Secure/Login?ReturnUrl=%2fSecure%2fLanding%2f23

At the login page

Dim vList As IList = Request.GetFriendlyUrlSegments()

returns 0 and cannot set the ID.

What is the best way to handle with friendly urls? Or do I have to resort back to sending it as a query string?

Thanks

Why do you want to get the segments from the login page? Why not grab the path from the query string and then redirect to that path upon successful login? — mason, Nov 27 '14 at 03:43

In the end this was the only way I could find of getting round the issue

 Dim vURL As String = Request.Url.Query
 Dim vSubString As String = vURL.Substring(vURL.Length - 1)
 Dim i As Integer = 1
        Do While IsNumeric(vSubString)
            vSubString = vURL.Substring(vURL.Length - i)
            i += 1
        Loop
 vSubString = vURL.Substring(vURL.Length - (i - 2))
