The rules engine identifies my intended URL fine via a condition. However the Action options - even though one says URL rewrite - only appear to allow rewrite of the path/URI. Not rewrite of the hostname.
If i wanted a rule that would always rewrite https://myhost.domain1.com/path to become myotherhost.domain2.com/path, how would i go about it?
In the FD Origin config, i have the option of setting 'origin host header' to be myotherhost.domain2.com. But that doesnt appear to be sufficient.
You want to retain the path but redirect to another host, so you need to use the URL redirect feature than the rewrite.
In the URL redirect, you can configure "Rule set" config wherein you can define the hostname for which this request need to be transferred by Front Door. There are nuances of what type of redirect code you use, based on your context[ and so accordingly you need to choose 302 or 307 and so on].

I am not able to successfully redirect a URL with query to another target external URL.
eg:-
Request URL:- http://example123.com/xxx/yy?path=com
Target URL:- http://example456.com/zzz/yy
Condition:-
I need to include the query string from the Request URL but not the Path.
I have tried using the path-based routing rule on the App GateWay with below configuration
Redirect rule
But after hitting save its going back to a state like this:
Rule after save
Can anyone please find us a solution ??
According to configuration-request-routing-rules (github.com) ,
Path based rule may not send path to query and only applies it to path of url.
When you create a rule, you choose between basic and path-based.
Choose basic if you want to forward all requests on the associated listener (for example, blog.contoso.com/*) to a single back-end pool.
Choose path-based if you want to route requests from specific URL paths to specific back-end pools. The path pattern is applied only to
the path of the URL, not to its query parameters.

Please check if you can try the rewriting URL path instead of redirecting which refers to this tutorial for implementation.
I have an IIS webserver running a website. I've installed ARR3 to enable routing rules.
I'd like to redirect all the incoming request for the URL .mydomain/url2redirect/ to an Apache server installed on the same machine where is running SVN.
So in the inbound rule definition I've inserted the following:
Input: URL path after '/'
Pattern: *.mydomain/url2redirect/*
Action Type: Rewrite
Action URL: https://ip-address:8080/{R:2}
By testing the pattern, I get the desired result, and in the R:2 back reference I get the requested page I need to pass to SVN, but I get always a 404.
"url2redirect" doesn't exist but it should captured by the URL rewrite and forwarded to the Action URL.
I've added any outbound rule. Should I have to add something? what?
I've tried also to add a Reverse Proxy Rule, using the ARR template but, it's completely ignored, therefore I think that the routing is not working at all on IIS.
As far as I know, the url rewrite rule Pattern doesn't match the domain part.
That means mydomain will not include in the Pattern.
If you want to match the url2redirect, you should use below pattern.
url2redirect(.*)
Then I suggest you could modify your action url as below:
https://ip-address:8080{R:1}
In IIS I've set up a basic URL Rewrite with an Inbound rule to perform a Rewrite action to another domain:
Pattern match: ^somedirectory/(.*)
Action type: Rewrite
Rewrite URL: http://www.google.com/{R:1} (using google just as a test)
The problem is, how can I actually see what the server has rewritten the URL to? When I check the IIS logs (I have "Log rewritten URL" option ticked), I would expect to see www.google.com somewhere - but it's nowhere to be found.
The pattern is definitely matching because I get the error: "502 - Web server received an invalid response while acting as a gateway or proxy server."
How can I see what is going on behind the scenes (how IIS has changed the request)?
One way is to enable "Failed Request Tracing" is IIS.
For the status code choose a range like 100-999 to capture all requests (even non-failing).
IIS will create an XML file for each request to a log directory. The XML can be viewed nicely within Internet Explorer (try the compact view tab).
In IIS 6.0, is there an easy way to re-direct requests to a folder to another folder, while preserving the rest of the path.
e.g.
If I have moved the content from:
mysite.org.uk/stuff
to
stuff.mysite.org.uk/
Can I automatically redirect requests for specific pages like
mysite.org.uk/stuff/countrybriefing/tanzania/travel.html
to
stuff.mysite.org.uk/countrybriefing/tanzania/travel.html
I know that .htaccess can do things like this in Apache, is there an equivalent in IIS?
Format the redirect URL in the following way:
stuff.mysite.org.uk$S$Q
The $S will say that any path must be applied to the new URL.
$Q says that any parameter variables must be passed to the new URL.
In IIS 7.0, you must enable the option Redirect to exact destination.
I believe there must be an option like this in IIS 6.0 too.

Redirecting Web Sites in IIS 6.0 (IIS 6.0)
When a browser requests a page or program on your Web site, the Web server locates the page identified by the URL and returns it to the browser. When you move a page on your Web site, you can't always correct all of the links that refer to the old URL of the page. To make sure that browsers can find the page at the new URL, you can instruct the Web server to redirect the browser to the new URL.
You can redirect requests for files in one directory to a different directory, to a different Web site, or to another file in a different directory. When the browser requests the file at the original URL, the Web server instructs the browser to request the page by using the new URL.
Important
You must be a member of the Administrators group on the local computer to perform the following procedure or procedures. As a security best practice, log on to your computer by using an account that is not in the Administrators group, and then use the runas command to run IIS Manager as an administrator. At a command prompt, type runas /user:Administrative_AccountName "mmc %systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\iis.msc".
Procedures
To redirect requests to another Web site or directory
In IIS Manager, expand the local computer, right-click the Web site or directory you want to redirect, and click Properties.
Click the Home Directory, Virtual Directory, or Directory tab.
Under The content for this source should come from, click A redirection to a URL.
In the Redirect to box, type the URL of the destination directory or Web site. For example, to redirect all requests for files in the Catalog directory to the NewCatalog directory, type /NewCatalog.
To redirect all requests to a single file
In IIS Manager, expand the local computer, right-click the Web site or directory you want to redirect, and click Properties.
Click the Home Directory, Virtual Directory, or Directory tab.
Under The content for this source should come from, click A redirection to a URL.
In the Redirect to box, type the URL of the destination file.
Select the The exact URL entered above check box to prevent the Web server from appending the original file name to the destination URL.
You can use wildcards and redirect variables in the destination URL to precisely control how the original URL is translated into the destination URL.
You can also use the redirect method to redirect all requests for files in a particular directory to a program. Generally, you should pass any parameters from the original URL to the program, which you can do by using redirect variables.
To redirect requests to a program
In IIS Manager, expand the local computer, right-click the Web site or directory you want to redirect, and click Properties.
Click the Home Directory, Virtual Directory, or Directory tab.
Under The content for this source should come from, click A redirection to a URL.
In the Redirect to box, type the URL of the program, including any redirect variables needed to pass parameters to the program. For example, to redirect all requests for scripts in a Scripts directory to a logging program that records the requested URL and any parameters passed with the URL, type /Scripts/Logger.exe?URL=$V+PARAMS=$P. $V and $P are redirect variables.
Select the The exact URL entered above check box to prevent the Web server from appending the original file name to the destination URL.
If you have loads of re-directs to create, having loads of virtual directories over the places is a nightmare to maintain. You could try using ISAPI redirect an IIS extension. Then all you re-directs are managed in one place.
http://www.isapirewrite.com/docs/
It allows also you to match patterns based on reg ex expressions etc. I've used where I've had to re-direct 100's of pages and its saved a lot of time.
Here's the config for ISAPI_Rewrite 3:
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite.org.uk$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^stuff/(.+)$ http://stuff.mysite.org.uk/$1 [NC,R=301,L]
