URL REWRITE

Works With: IIS 7, IIS 7.5, IIS 8, IIS 8.5, IIS 10


OVERVIEW




IIS URL Rewrite 2.1 enables Web administrators to create powerful rules to
implement URLs that are easier for users to remember and easier for search
engines to find. By using rule templates, rewrite maps, .NET providers, and
other functionality integrated into IIS Manager, Web administrators can easily
set up rules to define URL rewriting behavior based on HTTP headers, HTTP
response or request headers, IIS server variables, and even complex programmatic
rules. In addition, Web administrators can perform redirects, send custom
responses, or stop HTTP requests based on the logic expressed in the rewrite
rules.




DEFINE POWERFUL RULES TO TRANSFORM COMPLEX URLS INTO SIMPLE AND CONSISTENT WEB
ADDRESSES

URL Rewrite allows Web administrators to easily build powerful rules using
rewrite providers written in .NET, regular expression pattern matching, and
wildcard mapping to examine information in both URLs and other HTTP headers and
IIS server variables. Rules can be written to generate URLs that can be easier
for users to remember, simple for search engines to index, and allow URLs to
follow a consistent and canonical host name format. URL Rewrite further
simplifies the rule creation process with support for content rewriting, rule
templates, rewrite maps, rule validation, and import of existing mod_rewrite
rules.


EASILY REPLACE WEB APPLICATION URLS TO PRODUCE USER AND SEARCH ENGINE FRIENDLY
RESULTS

URL Rewrite permits Web administrators to easily replace the URLs generated by a
Web application in the response HTML with a more user friendly and search engine
friendly equivalent. Links can be modified in the HTML markup generated by a Web
application behind a reverse proxy. URL Rewrite makes things easier for outbound
response content and headers rewriting with outbound rewrite rules that work
with HTTP request and response headers and with IIS server variables.


SEAMLESS INTEGRATION WITH EXISTING IIS FEATURES THAT IMPROVE MANAGEMENT,
PERFORMANCE, AND TROUBLESHOOTING

URL Rewrite is tightly integrated with IIS Manager for better management. In
addition, URL Rewrite supports both user-mode and kernel-mode caching for faster
performance. URL Rewrite also supports Failed Request Tracing for enhanced
troubleshooting of application logic execution.

DOWNLOAD EXTENSIBILITY SAMPLES

The extensibility samples provide .NET assemblies and the source code with full
implementation of rewrite providers for the three most common use cases: storing
of the rewrite or redirect mappings in a SQL database; storing of the rewrite or
redirect mappings in a text file; storing of the lookup substrings in a text
file.
