Pretty Error URLs in MVC3 for 404, 500 Etc

Question

My current error handling URLs look rather ugly:

http://localhost:65089/Error/NotFound?aspxerrorpath=/Foo

Would rather have something like this:

http://localhost:65089/Error/NotFound

Web Config Code

<system.web>
    <customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="~/Error/Unknown">
      <error statusCode="404" redirect="~/Error/NotFound" />
    </customErrors>

Error Controller

  public class ErrorController : Controller
    {
        //
        // GET: /Error/

        public ActionResult Unknown()
        {
            return View();
        }

        public ActionResult NotFound()
        {
            return View();
        }

    }

Thanks in advance!

You can modify Application_Error method in your Global.asax:

protected void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {   Exception ex = Server.GetLastError();
            if(ex is HttpException && ((HttpException)ex).GetHttpCode()==404)
            {
                Response.Redirect("/Error/NotFound");
            }
        }
