How To Use The IIS7 URL Rewrite Module To Reroute HTTP Requests To HTTPs
May 6, 2010I have web services built with ASP.NET and ASP.NET clients consuming them. When consuming the webservices, how would I to force the clients to use https?
I don't want to force the whole site to use https by turning on require SSL in IIS.
Can I use the IIS7 URL rewrite module to re-route http requests to https?
Configuration :: Default Page Not Working On IIS7 With URL Rewrite Http Module
Jan 18, 2010I have the following setting in my web.config to redirect to a default page:
<defaultDocument>
<files>
<clear/>
<add value="default.aspx"/>
</files>
</defaultDocument>
For example when a user enters www.homeforhire.com they should be redirected to default.aspx (for operational reasons the user is then redirected to
www.homeforhire.com/home.aspx).
Instead an error is caught in the Rewrite module (which should not be activated). I am using an http module to perform URL rewriting.
It appears as if the default document setup is not working correctly, and the requested page ~/ is being sent to the Rewrite module, causing an error (which is then caught by my error handler and the user is redirected to the home page).
Entering www.homeforhire.com/default.aspx works correctly.
Can anyone tell me why the default document settings in the web.config do not appear to be working?
Forcing Https And Avoid Duplicate Urls Using IIS7 Url Rewrite Module
Feb 16, 2011I need to force every request to https://www.mysite.com (always with https and www)
The site is hosted in GoDaddy and I need to do it via IIS7 URL Rewrite Module.
I've been able to do the HTTPS redirect with the following code:
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Canonical Host Name" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^mysite.com$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://www.mysite.com/{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
Test cases
http://mysite.com -> https://www.mysite.com OK
http://www.mysite.com -> https://www.mysite.com NOT WORKING
I guess the condition is not being satisfied when I enter www.mysite.com in the browser, so there's no redirect and the page serves as HTTP instead of HTTPS.
I think I just need to modify the condition pattern, but I have almost nothing regex knowledge and I need this asap.
Security :: UrlRewriting.Net Module .html Extension On IIS7 Equals Page.User == Null?
Jan 8, 2010[FYI - Posted the same thing over at StackOverflow]I've used the UrlRewriting.Net module for a couple years now without any problems in Windows XP and Windows 2003. I just recently upgraded my home PC to Windows 7 and started developing a new website.The plan was to use .html extensions and rewrite them to their .aspx counterparts using the UrlRewriting.Net module. Everythingworks flawlessly in VWD 2008, but when I try running it through IIS7 it is a different story.
When I try to access a page via the .html rewrite I can no longer access Page.User; it keeps returning null. If I hit the page using it's .aspx extension, Page.User is correctly populated. I should also mention that I have a LoginView controller in my Master Page and it suffers from the same symptoms: When accessing via .html extension it shows the AnonyousTemplate; When using .aspx extension it properly shows the LoggedInTemplate. I'm guessing the two are related.[Note: I've also tried extensionless URLs and they exhibit the same problem]The only way I've gotten it to work is to switch the application pool to Classic, which then requires me to add an ASP.Net ddl handler for the .html extension [otherwise it is handled by the StaticFileHandler and comes up as a 404 error]. However, I'd like my web app to run properly for people without having to fiddle around with IIS.
So I am left with several questions:Does anyone have ideas as to why Page.User always equals null for .html => .aspx rewritten pages?Why does it work in VWD 2008, but not IIS7? What changed from IIS6 => IIS7 that could have caused this? Any other thoughts on workarounds?[Note: I just tried a .aspx => .aspx rewrite and it did not exhibit the problem. Not really what I want, but thought I should mention it.]
Tag With Javascript And IIS 7 URL Rewrite Module
Jan 26, 2010I use IIS 7 URL Rewrite Module and it works fine.
But My javascript code doesn't work anymore on the page (details.aspx) where i use URL Rewrite Module.
Example :
<a href="#" target="popup" onclick="wopen('note.aspx?ID=<%#CType(FormView1.DataItem, System.Data.DataRowView).Item("NoteID")%>&S=<%#CType(FormView1.DataItem, System.Data.DataRowView).Item("IsS")%>','popup',480,480); return false;">
Write a note</a>
If i disable the rule in IIS, this link works as expected.
The Rewrite rule doesn't include the note.aspx page.
C# - How Does The URL Rewrite Module Work
Sep 21, 2010I'm probably going to use the URL rewrite module for IIS 7 eventually and I have a fairly straight forward question that I really can't find the answer to.
If you have a base case of:
http://yoururl.com/page.aspx?ID=7
You can obviously have it rewritten to:
http://yoururl.com/page/7 or whatever you want.
My question is this: When using this module can you still use Request.Querystring["page"] on the rewritten querystring. How does the Request.URL stuff work. Does asp.net still provide the un-rewritten url or does it provide the rewritten one.
I would assume that your C#/asp.net code is completely unaffected by the url rewriting, as that's more or less the point, but I want to be crystal clear.
Secondary question: What is the best practice for how you should code a website when using the rewritten. Should you code links in the written style, or continue using querystrings?
How To Use The Helicon ISAPI_REWRITE Module To Rewrite A Url
Apr 9, 2010I would like to use the Helicon ISAPI_REWRITE module to rewrite a url:
123.45.67.89/folder

I need to mask the IP/folder due to an IIS structure change. The reason why I don't want to get into, but it's valid based on the setup.
String Functions In IIS Url Rewrite Module
Jun 11, 2010The IIS URL Rewrite Module ships with 3 built-in functions:
* ToLower - returns the input string converted to lower case.
* UrlEncode - returns the input string converted to URL-encoded format. This function can be used if the substitution URL in rewrite rule contains special characters (for example non-ASCII or URI-unsafe characters).
* UrlDecode - decodes the URL-encoded input string. This function can be used to decode a condition input before matching it against a pattern.
The functions can be invoked by using the following syntax:
{function_name:any_string}
The question is: can this list be extended by introducing a Replace function that's available for changing values within a rewrite rule action or condition?
Another way to frame the question: is there any way to do a global replace on a URL coming in using this module?
It seems that you're limited to using regular expressions and back-references to construct strings - i.e. there's no search/replace mechanism to replace every instance of X with Y in {REQUEST_URI}, without knowing how many instances there are.
I've had a quick glance at the extensibility introduced in the 2.0 RTW and don't see any 'light' means of introducing this.
Configuration :: URL Rewrite Module With Database Call?
Feb 25, 2011Hello, I'm trying to implement URL rewriting for the first time. I must use URL Rewrite Module IIS7 per my hosting company. All of the examples I have found so far will rewrite a url such as:
www.domain.com/ShowProduct.aspx?ID=233&Title=Product-Title,
to: www.domain.com/ShowProduct/ProductTitle/233. The common scenario between these examples is that the rewrite chops off the .aspx & special characters and shuffles the query string parameters around. I get how that all works. However, I had something a little different in mind and I'm not sure if it can be accomplished.
My urls currently look like this: www.domain.com/ShowProduct?ID=233, and I would like them to look like this: www.domain.com/ShowProduct/Product-Title. The way I would imagine this working is, during the rewrite, pass the ID to the db and return the Title for the new url. You see, I currently don't need to pass the Title as a query string parameter and I'd prefer to not show the ID at all. This would be ideal. Can this be accomplished? Or
will I have to add the Title as a query string param and show the ID in rewritten url?
IIS 7 With Url Rewrite Module 2.0 - Setting 401 Status Codes And The ReturnUrl
Feb 2, 2011I have a website hosted on IIS7 with the url rewrite module 2.0 installed. It is run by content management that looks at the url and returns a 401 error if the current user does not have permission to view the page. This gets picked up by the asp.net url authorization module which then kicks the page over to the loginUrl page as specified in the web.config (forms authentication).
This works perfectly on my local machine - which is IIS7 and windows7.
If the url is, say, /612/some-string the user gets directed to the login page at /66/login?ReturnUrl=/612/some-string
The url rewriting looks at the first part of the url for the document id. The real url would be this: index.aspx?documentId=612
Unfortunately, when I deployed this to our staging server, the ReturnUrl isn't the rewritten url, it's the original url. This causes all sorts of problems.
The staging server is also IIS7 with the url rewrite module 2.0 installed. It's Windows 2008 server SP2. Both are running asp.net 3.5.
My only guess is that the machine.config orders the default httpModules differently, and the .net forms authentication module is jumping in before the url has been rewritten.
I'll review that soon, but in the meantime has anyone experienced this problem and solved it?
Update
I also tried changing
Response.StatusCode = 401;
to
FormsAuthentication.RedirectToLoginPage();
Which gets me a bit ahead, but still directs the user back to the url that hasn't been rewritten.
I can also do this instead of setting the 401:
string currentPage = HttpUtility.UrlEncode(Request.RawUrl);
string loginUrl = FormsAuthentication.LoginUrl + "?ReturnUrl=" + currentPage;
Response.Redirect(loginUrl);
But this seems ugly.
Images Not Returning With 304 Response Code Due To Rewrite Module?
Jan 12, 2011In our ASP.NET web application, we use our own class to act as a rewrite module. It takes all requests to the server, acting as a bootstrapper.
To access an image on our web application, the browser requests domain.com/ResourceItem.aspx?Id=74
Does not having a proper URI mean the server will never respond with 304 NOT MODIFIED?
how to get the 304 response, so the browser doesn't have to download each image every refresh?
URL Rewrite Outbound Rules IIS7?
Sep 15, 2010Experimenting with URL rewrites using this module, however I'm getting the following error when attempting to hit the URL. Looked online for answers, but not sure what the best way to get around this is...
HTTP Error 500.52 - URL Rewrite Module Error. Outbound rewrite rules cannot be applied when the content of
the HTTP response is encoded ("gzip"). IIS received the request; however, an internal error occurred during the processing of the request. The root cause of this error depends on which module handles the request and what was happening in the worker process when this error occurred. IIS was not able to access the web.config file for the Web site or application. This can occur if the NTFS permissions are set incorrectly. IIS was not able to process configuration for the Web site or application. The authenticated user does not have permission to use this DLL. The request is mapped to a managed handler but the .NET Extensibility Feature is not installed.
IIS7 Rewrite - Strip HTTP Header?
Apr 1, 2010Is it at all possible to use IIS7's rewrite capability in web.config to strip a particular HTTP header from a client request?We have an application that makes an HTTP POST to our website, and apparently the request contains the HTTP Expect header. Previously this was not a problem, but we've switched hosts and now the site is returning HTTP error 417 Expectation failed. So the real solution is to fix the software so it doesn't send the Expect header, but that can't happen soon enough for the folks in charge, who'd like to come up with an immediate web-based fix.I've used ISAPI_Rewrite before and I've read that it can strip a header, and the new host claimed they had ISAPI installed... but that seems to have been a lie, as I cannot get it to work, and support's only response on the subject is "use IIS7 Rewrite instead."

Iis7 Url Rewrite - Optional Querystring Parameters?
Mar 9, 2010I'm using the iis7 URL Rewrite module and it's working fine, except for two things. Being new to this, I might be missing something obvious.
1) My URL gets converted from www.mysite.com/search.aspx?fName=John&sName=Smith to www.mysite.com/John/Smith. This works fine, but if I add a trailing / , a few images on the site disappear, wheras a few don't. (They're all in the same location). However, the search results are fine.
2) Is it possible to make cerain querystrings optional? Server side, this is implemented (i.e. if nothing is entered, then assume a default value). But how would this work with the URL rewrite module? e.g. www.mysite.com/John would search for John and use a default value for the sName parameter.

IIS7 Rewrite Changing Default Button?
Apr 23, 2010 I've run into a strange problem regarding default buttons in master pages and IIS7 rewrite module. All my content pages have default buttons set in the code-behind (on prerender), or they are in panels on the aspx page. This works fine on my local machine and on the production server. However, when I enable IIS7 URL Rewrite, the default button is always to the one in the master page.
protected void LoginButton_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Button btnDefault = sender as Button;
this.Page.Form.DefaultButton = btnDefault.UniqueID;
}
That's how I set my default button in the code-behind. I'm not sure what the rewrite module could be doing.
Iis7 - Serving Static Content From A Subdomain Using URL Rewrite
Feb 24, 2011I have a domain which is receiving quite a few hits per day and have been asked if I can serve the static content from a subdomain. As the site is quite extensive and already written, I was wondering if there is any way I can use URL rewriting to change:
www.example.com/image.gif
to
static.example.com/image.gif
I have a solution which works using 301 redirects but from what I understand, this is counter productive as 2 requests will have to be made per image. I don't really want to go through all the aspx pages and css to hard code the new url as it will cause problems further down the line - some parts of the site are still being developed and static content could change at any time. I tried using rewrite (as opposed to redirect) to change the url but it came out something like:
http://www.example.com/http://static.example.com/image.gif
How would you achieve this? I have full access to dns and the server (win 2008r2 / IIS 7.5) so can make any changes if url rewriting is not the answer.
Iis7 - Debugging 4.0 Site In VS 2010 With URL Rewrite Enabled?
Aug 20, 2010is this something basic or am I missing something?My ASP.NET (4.0) site has a web.config with URL rewrite rules. When I run it in debug mode (local webserver) all the URLs fail because the local web server does not recognize the rules (e.g. I have /register which maps to register.aspx etc.)Is there someway I can get the debug system to recognize my URL rewrite rules? Should I be doing something else?

Block Direct Access To .aspx Pages Using IIS7's URLRewrite Module?
Mar 30, 2011I am using IIS7's URLRewrite feature to hide the .aspx extension in my ASP.NET WebForms application's URLs.
I'm using the following configuration:
[code]....
I can now browse to:
[URL]
and this is rewritten to:
[URL]
This preserves the "pretty" url in the browser address bar. I have also updated all my links on the site to use the extensionless URLs.
The problem is that the underlying .aspx pages can still be accessed directly and I'd like to prevent this.
If a user browses to [URL] I'd like it to either redirect/rewrite to [URL], or at the very least just return a "Page not found".
Update:
I managed to get this working by redirecting all .aspx pages to the home directory. This isn't ideal as I'd prefer to send them to the non-.aspx version, but it will do for now.
<rule name="Block .aspx" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".aspx" />
<action type="Redirect" url="/" />
</rule>`
How do I rewrite and redirect URLs that directly address .aspx pages to my friendly URL format?
How To Rewrite .aspx To .html Or .php With Htaccess
Mar 31, 2011I'm trying to rewrite some URLs that have a .aspx extension to .html. I looked around and saw that you can put something like
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^file=(.+)$
RewriteRule ^(.+).aspx$ $1.php?f=%1
in the htaccess to rewrite any .aspx to .php. However, when I put that in the .htaccess file, it doesn't seem to work for me. mod_rewrite is enabled and the site is on a Linux server so those are not the issue. If I try to go anywhere with a .aspx extension, I get a "Server Error in '/' Application." error.

HTML - Why Does Rewrite Relative Paths For Runat=server Anchor Controls
Mar 24, 2010I have my UserControls in a ~/Controls folder in my solution:
/Controls/TheControl.ascx
If specify the following:
<a id="theId" runat="server" href="./?pg=1">link text</a>
ASP.Net seems to want to rewrite the path to point to the absolute location. For example, If the control is on [URL] the link href will be rewritten to read
<a id="munged_theId" href="../../Controls/?pg=1>link text</a>
Why does Asp.Net rewrite these control paths, and is there an elegant way to fix it?
I just want the anchor control to spit out exactly what I tell it to!!! Is that so hard?
EDIT:
I've basically done what Kelsey suggested. I knew I could do it this way, but I don't like adding markup in my code when I want something relatively simple. At least it solves the problem:
Aspx page:
<asp:PlaceHolder ID="ph" runat="server"></asp:PlaceHolder>
Code-behind:
var anchor = new HtmlGenericControl("a") { InnerText = "Previous" + " " + PageSize) };
anchor.Attributes["href"] = "?pg=" + (CurrentPage - 1);
anchor.Attributes["class"] = "prev button";
ph.Controls.Clear();
ph.Controls.Add(anchor);
As you can see by the amount of code needed for what is essentially supposed to be be a simple and light-weight anchor, it's not the most optimal solution. I know I could use a Literal but I figured this was cleaner as I'm adding more than one anchor.
