Trouble with QueryString

Hi,
I access a particular page by specifying the page's name and extension like
so:
http://localhost:xxxx/MyFiles/Lucky/
The Lucky directory contains a webpage named Default.aspx. I can access is
without needing to type in the page's name and
extension. This page uses a querystring and is only specified when needed (
e.g. keywords=sam). My trouble is that if I
access the page without specifying the page's name and extension, somehow th
e querystring is given a value on its own.
Debugging reveals that the querystring contains the value of "default.aspx"
What could be causing this issue? I've been at this for a few hours now wit
h no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Are you doing any URL rewriting or redirection? I've seen this
before when doing redirection and not filtering out the default page as a
possible value.
Hope this helps,

Hmm, you're absolutely right!
I am doing URL rewriting, using Regex of course. I discovered that one of m
y Regex rules was incorrect. That's what was
causing the trouble as I wasn't filtering out the default page.
Thanks for the help, :-)
