I'm just trying to understand IIS rewrite module terminology.
(i.)What is difference between url and {Url} as highlighted above ?
(ii.) Suppose, if we have multiple conditions like above, So {C:0} or {C:1} will refer from QUERY_STRING or HTTP_HOST or URL ?
I mean to say , how to get conditional reference fr QUERY_STRING and HTTP_HOST and URL so that i can use them in action ?
Please let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks

I am a real noob in IIS URL rewrite module.
I want to rewrite all requests of
127.0.0.1/Content/[anything may come here]
to
127.0.0.1:7078/Content/[anything may come here]
I am very bad in regular expressions and I do not know how to do this
I tried using the wildcard feature in URL Rewrite module and did this:
Requested URL matches the pattern using wildcards
127.0.0.1/Scripts/*
then rewrite to
127.0.0.1:7078/Scripts/*
(Action Type is Rewrite)
I am attached a screenshot. I am not sure I am doing this the right way, because it is not working.
1/ You don't need the host part in the Match URL Pattern : /Scripts/* should work.
2/ If you want to match the wildcard in the Match URL Pattern to the Rewrite URL, you'll have to use something like {R:0} in the Rewrite URL. For example 127.0.0.1:7078/Scripts/{R:0}.
3/ I'm not sure you can rewrite to a different port. If rewrites does not work, try Redirect as Action Type instead.
If you want to hide port 7078, you might need to use Application Request Routing (Reverse Proxy).

Is it possible to rewrite/redirect a url such as this:
http://example.com?id=123&id=123
To instead be:
http://example.com?id=123
The actual reason for doing this is a bug in code, but a URL rewrite/redirect would be a quick workaround.
Didn't realize it was possible to add a condition for {QUERY_STRING} that matches the pattern id=(.*)&id=.* and then just redirect to http://{HTTP_HOST}/{R:0}?id={C:1}
Hi Can someone explain what this rule will exactly do. I want to know what is the role of ? towards the end.
RewriteRule ^(products/someproduct.html)$ https://www.myserver.com/? [R=301,L]
looking forward for a quick explanation on the last character ?
This prevent appending the query string to the new URL.
for example, a request for https://www.myserver.com/products/someproduct.html?qu=1&bu=2:
with ? : get redirected to https://www.myserver.com/
without ? : get redirected to https://www.myserver.com/?qu=1&bu=2
I have an url that looks like:
/platforms.php?platform_id=xxx
where xxx is a number
I'm rewriting the URL inside the php application. So, for example the above url would look like:
/xbox/ or /playstation/
Now in .htaccess I have:
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ platforms.php?platform_id=$1 [L,QSA]
However when I go to a platform page the GET url becomes /xbox/ or /playstation/ , instead of xxx.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Update:
Hi, the link is not relevant to my question. I've tried to reformulate what I am after for in the example bellow with better details.
Thanks for the answer and sorry for the bad explanation.
Yep, when I said GET url I was referring to $_GET["platform_id"] .
Basically I have an URL called
www.example.com/platforms.php?platform_id=1
In the above example $_GET['platform_id'] = 1.
In the actual php aplication I have a function (let's call it make_link ), with which I make the above URL output like:
www.example.com/xbox/ (since 1 is the id of the xbox platform)
Now in httaccess I also need a rewrite rule that will make accessing the URL work.
So I have :
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ platforms.php?platform_id=$1 [L,QSA]
This does make the rewrite work in the terms that I can access
www.example.com/xbox/
However on the newly accessed page, if I get $_GET['platform_id'], the value for it is xbox/ .
Thanks,
In a RewriteRule, $1 is a variable backreferencing the first regular expression (in your case: ([^/]+)).
So, whatever text forms that part of your URL is what will be stored in $1.
If you wanted to use the consoles' IDs, you'd have to make these IDs part of your URLs. If you don't want that, but if you want your pretty URLs to reflect the names of the consoles, you'll have to rewrite the query part of platforms.php?platform_id=$1 in your .htaccess file.
Instead of querying for IDs (?platform_id=$1), you'll have to query for the consoles' names, e.g. ?platform_name=$1.
Edit:
In your PHP file, you'd then use $_GET['platform_name']
I am looking and looking and coming up with all different patterns, but no such luck. I require a rewrite rule to handle the a replacement of a string xyzlisting with xyz-listing. It may be anywhere in the url. Is there a straightforward way to write this rule?
I am not so experienced with IIS. However, I can suggest something:
In Apache mod_rewrite, you can use this rule:
RewriteRule (.*)(/\w+)(listing)(.*)$ $1$2-$3$4
This rule will split whatever string in the format anything followed by 'listing' that comes after mydomain.com/ with a '-'. Which results in 'anything-listing', wherever in the URL.
This will only change the last occurrence of this type of string. It will not replace more than one occurrence.
You can import this URl rewrite rule from Apache to IIS using this IIS extension:
IIS Extenson page for url rewrite module
Hope this helps :)
