Can Application request routing work on windows 7 as Reverse Proxy? - url-rewriting

I am configuring ARR in IIS7.5 on windows 7 as Reverse Proxy which would be expected to re-direct incoming URL to internal URL of a website, i.e.:
My website is hosted on IIS7.5 in windows 7 at port 82 (192.168.40.132 is static IP of the host machine)
http :// < Local_IP=192.168.40.132 > : < Port=82 > / Website1
The incoming URL should be as follows:
http: // < Local_IP=192.168.40.132 > /Website1
I have tried to configure ARR and URL Rewrite as Reverse Proxy in windows 7, but still cannot get it work, so I suspect that it cannot be configured on windows 7.
Can the setting be achieved with ARR + URL_Rewrite of IIS7.5 on windows 7 ?

ARR is certainly supported on Windows 7 / IIS 7.5. I need more details than "It does not work" in order to troubleshoot further. I would suspect it has something to do with your custom port configuration.

Configured SonarQube 6.1 on HTTPs using Apache but both HTTP and HTTPs works - Need only HTTPs

Recently I installed SonarQube 6.1 version and I used Apache to enable HTTPs, now i am able to connect to SonarQube using both the URL's below.
Any idea how to disable the HTTP and make only HTTPs work ?
HTTPs URL = https://<SonarServer>/sessions/new
HTTP URL = http://<SonarServer>:9000/
According to your URL, the web front server and Apache are installing on the same host. So you just need to configure SonarQube to listen on localhost (in sonar.properties sonar.web.host=127.0.0.1) and configure Apache to do the reverse proxy for 127.0.0.1.
Well there are two approaches which you can try:
Approach, make sonar https (http://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SONARQUBE52/Running+SonarQube+Over+HTTPS)
based on the link above you could easily set sonar to https, instead of http - just be sure to provide a certificate etc.
you could as https://stackoverflow.com/users/2435199/eric-hartmann described, just simply bind it only to localhost
block 9000 from outside ips via firewall!
Imho i would stick with 1 or 2 depending on the time you would like to spend on that issue!

https not working for 127.0.0.1/localhost but working for IP/DNS

I am running IIS 7.5 (Windows Server 2008 R2 64 bit).
I got a web application running in the default web site (only got that site)
I have installed an SSL certificate on this web site.
I can see that when accessing the application on either server external IP or DNS the https is working just fine. Both from external access and internal access.
When I access the application from internally and use hostname, localhost or 127.0.0.1 I get the standard IE error "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" which is normal circumstances would suggest that https is not running.
I can telnet 127.0.0.1 443 just fine.
Does https 127.0.0.1 works? Instead of just using http only.

Access local website via router

a few months ago I've made it using Wamp Server
but now I'm trying to go inside of the local website via router to xampp and wamp server.
wamp ruinning on port 80
xampp on port 81
my local ip is 192.168.1.100
so I've tried to go into
192.168.1.100 and 192.168.1.100:81
From here it works, but from another computer (connected in the same network) cannot find it.
I've set wamp online and in both wamp and xampp set 'allow from all' so what it doens't work?
Also, I'm trying to do it because I want to test something on Node.js
(I know i can do t using 2 tabs or browsers)
When i start node.js server it may run at 127.0.0.1:8000 it would be acessible by 192.168.1.100:8000 ?
Thanks for reading and sorry for bad english.
I am guessing you are using Windows 7? Do you have a firewall enabled? If so follow the steps in the link below to open ports 80 and 81 by setting custom inbound rules.

Reverse Proxy on Windows

I have a web server that responds to a number of different sites on port 80. Currently, IIS does the mapping to various sites via host headers, but I'd like to be able to serve other web apps on port 80 hosted in Jetty or Tomcat. IIS prevents that by grabbing all port 80 traffic.
I basically need a reverse proxy to just change the port number to something that another app stack can listen in on. I was looking into nginx but it seems to not be quite ready for prime time on Windows. Eventually I may set up a Linux box specifically for this, but for now I'm interested in a solution which will run all on the same box.
All I really need is something very light which mostly just matches hostname/port and allows rewriting of the port. Does anyone have any suggestions?
If you are running in IIS 7 or above you can use Application Request Routing for that: http://www.iis.net/download/ApplicationRequestRouting
For IIS 5-6, it looks like Apache Tomcat Connector (JK 1.2) is a clean solution. This is an IIS ISAPI filter which allows IIS to act as a reverse proxy for other web servers. It uses Apache JServ Protocol (AJP) to communicate with the app server actually serving requests. Both Tomcat and Jetty implement AJP. URLs are mapped with regex-like config to a particular AJP server instance.
Overview: http://www.iisadmin.co.uk/?p=40&page=3
IIS Config: http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/reference/iis.html
Mapping Config: http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/reference/workers.html
This ISAPI plug-in also works with IIS 7.x, but in that case the Application Request Routing (see marked answer) should be considered as it might work better with non-AJP servers.

Windows 7 running as server

I'm developing a program using Windows 7. There are WCF services (soap, rest) that are used by currently by Silverlight but very soon I'll start development of the mobile application that would make use of these services.
On day to day basis I use Mac and Apache to host my website, but during the development of this program I would like to use IIS7 to put my services online. I have absolutely no problems to access all the services via localhost but as soon as I'm trying to connect through the internet I get "The connection has timed out".
I'm sure that my router is configured right as it works perfectly fine when I'm on Mac OS, but it looks like Windows simply blocks incoming connections from outside; I cannot even connect from another computer on the same network.
So is there a way of using Windows 7 as server with IIS7 or is it only possible with Windows Server? I know it might be like enabling/disabling one setting somewhere but I just cannot find it.
Please help.
By default, the Windows 7 firewall doesn't have a port 80 exception for IIS, you will need to either add an exception or disable the firewall to be able to connect from another machine.
Windows has a built-in firewall that is probably blocking the connections. Type "firewall" into the control panel search box to find the settings to allow stuff through/turn it off completely.
