iis - How to redirect any url that have hyphens to home url in asp.net mvc 5 -


i creating new site 1 of client. old site developed using wordpress , hence has 100s of broken urls below:

http://www.example.com/best-gym-in-town/ http://www.example.com/video-gallery/ http://www.example.com/fun-stuff/ http://www.example.com/are-you-a-diabetes-patient/ http://www.example.com/john-in-media/ http://www.example.com/photo-gallery/ http://www.example.com/nutrition-program-that-suits-your-lifestyl/ http://www.example.com/our-range-of-fitness-tests/ http://www.example.com/corporate-group-workshops/some-article/another-article 

i developing new site in asp.net mvc 5. want write httpredirect rule in web.config can redirect of above url home or specific page.

so far how thinking of solution

<location path="about-me"> <system.webserver>         <httpredirect enabled="true" destination="/home"          httpresponsestatus="permanent" /> </system.webserver> </location> 

but have write 100s of such entries in web.config. looking better , efficient alternative

in global.asax, hook application_beginrequest method , redirect homepage there

protected void application_beginrequest(object sender, eventargs e) {          try     {         if (httpcontext.current.request.url.absolutepath.contains("-")){             httpcontext.current.response.redirectpermanent("/");         }     }     catch (threadabortexception){} } 

optionally, hook application_error method inside global.asax instead , detect 404's there

protected void application_error(object sender, eventargs e) {         var exception = server.getlasterror();         if (exception != null && exception == 404)     {             try             {             response.clear();             server.clearerror();             response.redirect("/");                 }         }         catch (threadabortexception){}     } }
