uri rewrite for IIS conversion

Hi I am currently in the process of moving sites away from Microsoft ARR to F5

 

 

there are quite a few url rewrites involved and the syntax is causing me an issue

 

 

 

current rule on IIS looks like this

 

 

 

rule name="Rewrite to details"

 

match url="^Details/([0-9]+)/([a-z]+)" /

 

conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll" trackAllCaptures="false" /

 

action type="Rewrite" url="PropertyDetails.aspx?HID={R:1}&L={R:2}" appendQueryString="false" /

 

/rule

 

 

 

 

the question is how do I write this in irule speak? just the match and the rewrite the rest doesn't matter

 

 

 

any help would be great

 

  • i am not familiar with iis rewrite rule. can you give example url?
  • hi

     

     

    I don't have an example to hand but the this works is the property number is given in value 1 and passed to R:1 and the language code in value 2 R:2

     

     

    so an example would look something like http://host/details/123/en and the output would be http://host/propertydetails.aspx?HID=123&L=en

     

     

    hope this helps

     

     

    thanks

  • Hello Nitass,

     

     

    I have an issue where the following IIS URL Rewrite is causing 502. The application is Cold Fusion (no jokes please) using TomCat and IIS. If I disable the rule F5 works and hits test html pages on each web server. When the IIS URL Rewrite is enabled it fails.

     

     

    Is there a way to tweak the rule on IIS to make it work, or will the rules need to reside in an iRule?

     

     

    Any help is much appreciated.

     

     

    Error:

     

    502 - Web server received an invalid response while acting as a gateway or proxy server.

     

    There is a problem with the page you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed. When the Web server (while acting as a gateway or proxy) contacted the upstream content server, it received an invalid response from the content server.
