URL rewriting tool for IIS

<i><b>Originally posted by : ISAPI_Rewrite Team (team@isapirewrite.com)</b></i><br />Dear IIS Administrators and Webmasters,<br /><br />We are proud to announce availability of the NEW tool for the Microsoft IIS Web Server.<br /><br />ISAPI_Rewrite is an analogue of a well-known Apache's mod_Rewrite. It allows you to change URL scheme of your web site transparently for the users and web applications just by adding a few text lines to the configuration files.<br /><br />ISAPI_Rewrite uses regular expressions to match an incoming request and to change request's URI. It makes possible to handle many different requests by a single rule. For example, you can forward all requests to a www.somesite.com to the www.someanothersite.com by a single line:<br /><br />RewriteRule (.+) http://www.someanothersite.com$1 [R]<br /><br />Really, you could do a much more complex URI transformations and some useful examples are provided in the ISAPI_Rewrite's documentation http://www.isapirewrite.com/docs.asp#examples.<br /><br />ISAPI_Rewrite is written in pure C++ using only Win32API and ISAPI. So, it is very fast. ISAPI_Rewrite is designed to work in a multi-host environment. It can be configured on a per-virtual-server basis. It has one global configuration file and could have a separate configuration file for each virtual server. For better performance, ISAPI_Rewrite uses in-memory configuration cache, but it includes automatic configuration changes tracking system. It means that performance is high but every change to configuration files applied immediately after the next request and you don't need to restart server.<br /><br />There are two versions of ISAPI_Rewrite available on the market: Full-featured version and FREE Lite version. Lite version supports only single global configuration file and it is an ideal solution for a small web servers or development environment. Full version designed to work in a shared environment, i.e. ISP or Web Hosting Providers.<br /><br />Please, visit our web site at http://www.isapirewrite.com to learn more about the ISAPI_Rewrite.<br /><br /><br />With best regards,<br />The ISAPI_Rewrite Team.<br />http://www.isapirewrite.com<br />
