Update 2012-01-15 : SQL Express 2005 or later empty database files added, ready for attachment.
Update 2012-01-11 : SQL create script added (alternative to attaching blank db)

This module focuses on shell UI integration and httpRequest lookup speed.


Additional information and screen-shots should be available on ​http://blog.paulgeorge.co.uk/

Key features:


1) Shell - displays links for current item, redirects, and aliases.

2) Automatic 301 record generation of historic links (renamed, moved, or even structural changes)

3) Manual 301 record generation via right-click or ribbon.


Publishing any item clears the redirect cache. (required after manual redirect creation).



Performance

Rough tests with 100,000 redirect records :

Preload delay: 150-250ms (loads into lookup cache, on startup or after publish)
Http processor delay: roughly 0.15ms (~373 ticks)
