Never in my life have I seen a ".dll" webpage.

Other links on the site seem to have ".aspx" so I'm assuming it's some sort of .NET thing, does anyone know what a ".dll" page is?

Not sure this is the technology at play here, but ATL Server, a C++ based Microsoft web technology discontinued in 2008 basically supported two files extensions - .srf and .dll. See e.g. https://github.com/redpower1998/ATLServer/blob/bf3fd601bf281... .

IIS (Microsoft / Windows Server HTTP server) supports a technology rival to CGI called ISAPI, which was deployed using .dll files. .dll is a Microsofts' dynamic library standard, commonly produced by e.g. C/C++, but also by .Net.

The thing that stands out the most if the fact that most older IIS setups did not use rewrite on URLs, so instead of pointing to a nice looking path, they were pointing to .aspx files or .dll.
