I have a url that looks like this:
www.mywebsite.com/page.aspx?code=1.a
I want to redirect this URL via IIS to:
www.mywebsite.com/page.aspx?code=1.b
I would like to do this through IIS and not within the code.
I have various other website urls that look like:
www.mywebsite.com/page.aspx?code=2
www.mywebsite.com/page.aspx?code=3.a
www.mywebsite.com/page.aspx?code=6.c
I don't want these to be affected.
Thanks.
An easy way to do this in IIS 7.5 is to install the URL Rewrite extension from Microsoft into IIS.
http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite
Once you have it installed, you can just add a rule to redirect from ?code=1.a to ?code=1.b. In IIS, you'll see a new entry called URL Rewrite under the IIS heading for your website. You can use the editor there to create a new rule. Once the rule is created, it will be written into your web.config file.
In the web.config file, the rule should look something like this:
<system.webServer>
...
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Code=1.a redirect" patternSyntax="ExactMatch"
stopProcessing="true">
<match url="page.aspx" />
<action type="Redirect" url="page.aspx?code=1.b"
appendQueryString="false" redirectType="Permanent" />
<conditions>
<add input="{QUERY_STRING}" pattern="code=1.a" />
</conditions>
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
...
</system.webServer>
