For anybody who has struggled with URL rewriting on a Windows server there is now a new option available. I have just installed this:


http://www.iis.net/downloads/default.aspx?tabid=34&g=6&i=1692

I am very pleased because this module happily runs along side my existing ASP.NET rewrite component but AT LAST allow me to rewrite default.aspx to the home directory ("~/") WITHOUT creating a 'circular loop'. :)

For more details see:

What's wrong with mod_rewrite for Apache on Windows platform? lol

ASP.net runs on IIS not Apache. ;)

It has actually been really busy to re-write URL's for a long time on Windows servers using a software such as ISAPI Rewrite.

I guess you mean EASY ;)

Could ISAPI Rewrite be configured within an ASP.NET web.config file though meaning all my rewrite rules can be contained WITHIN my ASP.NET application?

:redface: Sorry yes I mean easy.

It's just a case of placing a http.ini file or .htaccess file in the root of the domain (application) and placing the re-writing rules inside the file.

Also given the choice I would rather use a native IIS module than a third party add on.

I was aware of this mine was a rhetorical question. :)

As I said in my first post this is a NEW option not the only option.
