QuestionASP.NET - Is our website brain damaged or genius? Pin

I suspect I know which, but a) I fell down a programming hole till 3am so I'm questioning myself heavily b) I was a mostly an ASP.NET/backend dev 2001-2007, then I switched to desktop/backend, so I'm still ASP.NET rusty & getting back into it... I would like CPville's take on this bitof our architecture:


  • We remoce the normal, built-in resource manager that gets the file from its physical location given the URL

  • We replace it with our own Manager which:

    1. Takes a specially coded URL
    2. Decodes it to an actual URL to get the resource


For example the URL of out home button is
http://www.uop.edu.jo/ResourceManager.axd?file=ucvozmcg&type=9&path=~/tonzvpkoy
but really is should be
/webimages/homeicon.gif
The filename and path are split up and run through a simple substitution cipher (see my blog for how secure that is) and the extension is given a numerical value (e.g. 1= .css 2 = .gif). The net result is that we are running extra code just to get resources lowering perfomance, the URL is longer, and [worst] the developers can't tell what is coming from where. The resource manager doesn't BTW, it just maps semi-obstifucated information to the actual loaction, so it is not even looking after where things are stored.

Other than a cack-handed attempt at securing something that doesn't needed are there any advantages to this approach, above job security?
