Is it possible to import/convert a mod_rewrite .htaccess file to web.config using the command line (NOT using GUI as described here) and how ?
If it is not directly possible is there any workaround for this ?
It isn’t possible to do this from the command line. The importer code is part of the UrlRewrite extension code and only surfaced via the IIS manager UI.
That said, if you have .NET Reflector (or a similar tool – ILSpy) you can inspect the code that performs the
mod_rewritetranslation.From my own investigations, the UrlRewrite extension lives inside the following assemblies:
These reside in the GAC and can be opened quite easily for inspection by .NET Reflector.
The classes and methods of interest are:
Microsoft.Web.Management.Iis.Rewrite.Translation.ImportRulesPage.Translate()which calls:
Microsoft.Web.Management.Iis.Rewrite.Translation.Translator.Translate()From this information it may be possible to reverse engineer your own command line implementation.
