Is there a way in IIS to redirect the following request:
http://mysite/report1/img/logo.png to http://mysite/myapplication/report1/images/logo.png for ALL images in the img directory without having to explicitly map them individually?
Additional requirement- I have THOUSANDS of reports on a drive mapped to the 'report1' virtual directory- each with their own 'img' directory- so there is no reasonable way to use IIS manager to map those directories individually either.
I'm looking to see if there is some way to add a wildcard (or other) HttpRedirect in the IIS server web.config file to correctly map all the images for all the reports. I tried:
<add wildcard="*res/img/" destination="/reporter/content/images/reportimages" />
But that seemed to have no effect.
EDIT: Some more research shows that using the URL Rewrite module might work... but so far I haven't gotten it to work.
My rule looks like this (in web.config):
<rules>
<rule name="Redirect rule1 for ImageRedirect">
<match url=".*" />
<conditions>
<add input="{ImageRedirect:{REQUEST_URI}}" matchType="Pattern" pattern="/res/img/(.+)" ignoreCase="true" negate="false" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="{HTTP_HOST}/reporter/content/reporterimages/{C:1}" appendQueryString="false" />
</rule>
</rules>
You were on the right track using the URL Rewrite module.
The most simple rule in your case would be:
<rule name="Rewrite images" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^/report1/img/(.+)$" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="/myapplication/report1/images/{R:1}" />
</rule>
It does check if the requested url matches ^/report1/img/(.+)$ and if yes, trigger a rewrite to your new folder.
If you want to use a Redirect instead:
<rule name="Redirect images" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^/report1/img/(.+)$" />
<action type="Redirect" url="/myapplication/report1/images/{R:1}" />
</rule>
(If you don't specify it, by default a Redirect is permanent (301))

I'm looking to set up a rewrite rule in my web.config file which forces URLs to use the 'www' sub-domain. This is done like so:
<rules>
<rule name="Add WWW" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^(.*)$" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^(?!www\.)(.*)$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="http://www.{C:0}{PATH_INFO}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
However, the project is running multiple websites on multiple domains, some of which use SSL and some don't.
The code above hard-codes http:// into the redirect. What I'm looking to do is to abstract this such that the http or https protocols are maintained during the redirect without being hard-coded.
Some examples of the desired results are:
http://olddomain.com > http://www.newdomain.com
https://someolddomain.com > https://www.somenewdomain.com
Many thanks.
I found a reference which explains one approach in doing this. It uses rewrite key/value pairs as a 'variable' in the action url, as (as far as I can find out) there's no way currently to grab the protocol as a native variable inside the rule.
The rule has been modified as follows, which should do what's required:
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Add www maintain https" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^(.*)$" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^(?!www\.)(.*)$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="{MapSSL:{HTTPS}}www.{C:0}{PATH_INFO}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
</rules>
<rewriteMaps>
<rewriteMap name="MapSSL" defaultValue="http://">
<add key="ON" value="https://" />
<add key="OFF" value="http://" />
</rewriteMap>
</rewriteMaps>
</rewrite>
There's also another reference which includes this amongst alternative ways to achieve the same thing.
So I have a path like this (I am using webforms):
folder/first/second/
which has the following rewrite rule behind it
<rule name="firstLevel">
<match url="^folder/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="firstSecond.aspx?param1={R:1}¶m2={UrlEncode:{R:2}}" />
</rule>
my issue is when I try and pass the following:
folder/first/sec%2fond/ (I want R2 to be sec%2fond where I will urlDecode it back to the page. for a result like "sec/ond".
However my rule keeps taking it as though I want
folder/first/sec/ond
Requested URL
http://localhost:85/research/first/sec/ond/
Physical Path
\rewritetest\folder\first\sec\ond\
Thanks for any assists..
I found a working solution to this issue for anyone else.
<rule name="secondLevel">
<match url="^folder/(.+)/(.+)/?$" ignoreCase="true" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="firstsecond.aspx?param1={C:1}¶m2={C:2}" />
<conditions>
<add input="{UNENCODED_URL}" pattern="/folder/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$" />
</conditions>
</rule>
I have a rewrite map with ~100 old URL to new URL rows:
<rewriteMaps>
<rewriteMap name="OldSiteRewriteMap" defaultValue="">
...
<add key="/a/b/oldpage" value="/x/y/newpage" />
...
</rewriteMap>
</rewriteMaps>
I have a rewrite rule that uses that map to redirect URL's (we've just launched a new website and we're mapping the URL's from the old site to the corresponding URL on the new site):
<rule name="Redirect old site URLs">
<match url=".*" />
<conditions>
<add input="{OldSiteRewriteMap:{PATH_INFO}}" pattern="(.+)" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="{C:1}" redirectType="Permanent" appendQueryString="false" />
</rule>
When I visit http://example.com/a/b/oldpage (the old site URL) I get redirected to http://example.com/x/y/newpage - great! But when I visit http://example.com/a/b/oldpage.aspx -note the .aspx extension - I don't get redirected.
How can I tell my rewrite rule to ignore the ".aspx" extension when it's trying to map URL's using the rewrite map?
A coworker suggested the following - using a regex in the "match url" to capture everything except a possible trailing ".aspx" and then passing the capture to the rewrite map in lieu of PATH_INFO or any of the other server vars. Seems to work pretty well.
<rule name="Redirect old site URLs">
<match url="^(.+?)(\.aspx)?$" />
<conditions>
<add input="{OldSiteRewriteMap:{R:1}}" pattern="(.+)" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="{C:1}" redirectType="Permanent" appendQueryString="false" />
</rule>
I have a rewrite rule I'm using in ASP.NET 4.0 on IIS7:
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Rewrite default to aspx" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^$" ignoreCase="false" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="home.aspx" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
<defaultDocument>
<files>
<add value="home.aspx" />
</files>
</defaultDocument>
</system.webServer>
This rule takes: (http:/example.com/aboutus.aspx) and it removes the .aspx from the end of the URL. I'm running into problems with wordpress being installed on my subdomain (http:/www.example.com/blog) I get the following error due to my rewrite rule:
Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.
Requested URL: /blog/.aspx
Does anyone know how I can fix the URL rewrite rule so it safely get to (http://www.example.com/blog/) and not add the .aspx at the end?
Is there some sort of syntax that can search for the blog subdirectory to ignore the directory '/blog/'?
Greatly appreciated! Thank you! :)
If you want your rule to be applied to every urls but the /blog/* ones, then you can use the negate option:
<rule name="Rewrite default to aspx" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^blog/" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="home.aspx" />
</rule>

A friend is having me figure out a way to modrewrite on his windows server. He is running IIS 6 and Isapi is about the only thing I can find. I am not familiar with it and have read some of the documentation, but can't quite wrap my head around it. He is wanting to rewrite these URLS to make them clean
www.domain.com/cat.php?CTGID=####
and
www.domain.com/pp.php?ID=##
How would I go about rewriting these two URLS to make them Clean in ISAPI. I have installed it on the Windows Server and do I put these rules in IISF.ini in his website folder or put these codes in the master IISF file? Any Help would be greatly appreciated!
Rewrite rules go in a web.config file or in the ApplicationHost.config.
As described in http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/465/url-rewrite-module-configuration-reference/
Examples
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Force WWW" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".*" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^example.com$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="http://www.example.com/{R:0}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
<rule name="Redirect from blog">
<match url="^blog/([_0-9a-z-]+)/([0-9]+)" />
<action type="Redirect" url="article/{R:2}/{R:1}" redirectType="Found" />
</rule>
<rule name="Rewrite to article.aspx">
<match url="^article/([0-9]+)/([_0-9a-z-]+)" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="article.aspx?id={R:1}&title={R:2}" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
For IIS, if the ISAPI_Rewrite module is installed, $_SERVER["IIS_UrlRewriteModule"] is set and contains the version number of the module. So you can check for the existence of this server variable.
