I’m using Intelligencia’s UrlRewriter in my application and I’m having a problem where the rules I’ve setup appear to be stripping the + symbol from my url.

For example I want to have the urls /category/catname/+tag+tag but it appears to me as /category/catname/ tag tag

Does anyone have any ideas and is this down to my regular expression? I’ve tried it in regulator and it matches fine.

<rewriter>   <rewrite url='^/content/(.+)$' to='~/page.aspx?name=$1' />   <rewrite url='^/category/(.+)$' to='~/catalog.aspx?category=$1' />   <rewrite url='^/product/(.+)$' to='~/catalog.aspx?product=$1' />   <rewrite url='~/login/' to='~/login.aspx'/> </rewriter>

  1. The reason why it is doing that, is because the ‘+’ gets parsed as a space by the webserver before your rewriter actually get it. A litteral + is something that you can not use in an actual URL. If you want to use a + then you need to reference it as something like %2B: ‘/category/catname/%2Btag1%2Btag2’.

    Edit: Here is an example of URL encoding This illustrates a few of the characters you can not use, and how to encode them. If you are looking for more visual appealing characters for a URL, you can try ‘-‘ and ‘_’ which are both valid, I’d suggest the ‘-‘. an example of the url would then be ‘/category/catname/-tag1-tag2’.
