Question

Hey all, I’ve got a question about
IIS7 rewrite.

I’m wondering if there is a way to set
conditions for re writing urls. I’m
wanting to rewrite:

http://www.domain.com/user.aspx?id=username

to become

http://www.domain.com/username/

I also have

http://www.domain.com/article.aspx
http://www.domain.com/login.aspx

and I want those to become

http://www.domain.com/article/
http://www.domain.com/login/

The issue I’m having is that if I set
up the rewrites for username the
rewrites for article and login break.

I need to somehow exclude those from
the username rewriting so that they
can be handled on their own.

Here is my current code, im rewriting
the usernames to /user/username at the
moment:

<rewrite>
  <rules>
    <rule name="Rewrite user accounts2">
      <match url="user/([_0-9a-z-]+)"/>
      <action type="Rewrite" url="user.aspx?id={R:1}"/>
    </rule>
    <rule name="Rewrite user accounts">
      <match url="user/([_0-9a-z-]+)/"/>
      <action type="Rewrite" url="user.aspx?id={R:1}"/>
    </rule>
  </rules>
</rewrite>

Answer 1

If you add the article/login rule at the top and add stopProcessing=”true” to it then you dont have to use conditions.

<rewrite>
  <rules>
    <rule name="Login" stopProcessing="true">
      <match url="login/?"/>
      <action type="Rewrite" url="login.aspx"/>
    </rule>
    <rule name="Article" stopProcessing="true">
      <match url="article/?"/>
      <action type="Rewrite" url="article.aspx"/>
    </rule>
    <rule name="Rewrite user accounts2" stopProcessing="true">
      <match url="user/([_0-9a-z-]+)/?"/>
      <action type="Rewrite" url="user.aspx?id={R:1}"/>
    </rule>
  </rules>
</rewrite>

PS. the questionmark makes the preceding character optional.
