URL Rewriter and Reverse Proxy

New Post: Recursive rule checking causes overflow

antoine220 — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 10:58:56 GMT

Hi,

I've just installed Url Rewriter as a nuget package in my ASP.Net MVC 4 web app. I'm testing it locally and can't get rewrites to work.
I only have one rule in the ManagedFusion.Rewriter.txt file, but in the log file I see that for each request, the files is processed a dozen times. It matches the rule correctly, the output is valid (i.e. a URL that is correctly routed to my controller/action). But this is repeated over and over (input as the url I type, valid output) until I get a 500 error due to an overflow.

Any idea what's wrong there? Why can't it stop processing the request against the rules?

Setup: ASP.net MVC 4 /.net 4.5
Url Rewriter 3.5.7.15067
Tested with IIS 8 and IIS Express 8

New Post: Does this work with the IIS development version?

jonp123 — Sun, 17 Feb 2013 03:40:39 GMT

Think I found an answer. Yyes it works with the built in developement IIS. One some adjustment though is that binding must be done to the application's root path. So if the path to the application root is

http://localhost:30320/MyWebApp/

and wanting to bind

http://localhost:30320/MyWebApp/http-bind/

then the rewrite rule needs to be

RewriteRule ^/MyWebApp/http-bind/ http://server.somedomain.com:5280/http-bind/ [P,L]

Nice looking project. Have source installed in VS2010 and the basics configured. It is working with the test rewrite rule of

RewriteRule ^/(.*)      http://google.com [R=302]

Now I'm trying to get it to work as a reverse proxy using

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule /http-bind/ http://server.somedomain.com:5280/http-bind/ [P,L]

(Not the real domain above) Which unfortunately is returning a 400 Bad Request. I'm thinking perhaps its because I'm using the built in development web server IIS (7.5). Do you know if its compatible?

New Post: Reverse Proxy, HTTP Basic Authentication and Sharepoint

bigosmj — Mon, 18 Jun 2012 17:07:49 GMT

Has anyone in the community been successful in setting up Reverse Proxying to a Sharepoint site, or any other site using HTTP Basic Authentication? If so, is there a particular minimum version to use or particular configuration needed in the rules file? In my current set up attempt (running within the Web Development Web Server from Visual Studio 2010 Express Edition, which please let me know if this is part of the reason), I am correctly proxied at first and am prompted to authenticate, but IIS on the Sharepoint server (behind the proxy) still reports a 401 and the browser asks to retry the authentication again.
