Default
pages in Sitecore renders home page of the site.
Though there is no Sitecore item with name default, the above links still render the StartPath. Ideally this should redirect to 404 error page.
Sitecore DefaultResolver Pipeline checks for this default document and if the request is
with the default document, then it
set the current context item as the Site StartPath
item and we get the StartPath for all the above URLs.
Sitecore.Pipelines.HttpRequest.DefaultResolver
SiteContext
site = Context.Site;
if ((((Context.Item == null) && (Context.Database != null)) && ((site != null) &&
(site.StartPath.Length != 0))) && ((args.LocalPath.Length == 0) || (args.LocalPath == "/default")))
{
Item item = args.GetItem(site.StartPath);
if (item != null)
{
Tracer.Info("Using default item \"" + site.StartPath + "\"
from site definition.");
Context.Item = item;
}
else if (!args.PermissionDenied)
{
Tracer.Error("Default item was not found: " + site.StartPath, "Database:
\"" + Context.Database.Name + "\"");
}
}
To avoid
this, create a custom DefaultResolver pipeline and remove the condition
for the default document.
if ((((Context.Item == null) && (Context.Database != null)) && ((site != null) &&
(site.StartPath.Length != 0))) && ((args.LocalPath.Length == 0)
This will throw 404 error for all the default URLs.
Interesting, never really looked into what the default resolver was, thanks for sharing.
