I am having trouble getting this working.. and I know I am just doing it wrong... I can't grasp the concept... I wanted to make a filter that did not use "/" because then all my links for 1000s of websites and pages would have to be changed to absolute paths, which is not possible.

RewriteRule (.*default.asp)(\?[^/]*)?[/.]([^-]*)-([^/]*)(.*) $1(?2$2&:\?)$3=$4$5 [N,I]
RewriteRule (.*).default.asp(\?[^/]*)? $1/default.asp$2 [I,L]

original URL:
mydomain.com/default.asp?f=myvar1&d=myvar2&id=myvar3

The variables will vary, they will be different depending on the page, etc.

I just really want to "re-interpret" the ? and & signs and automatically fill in the 'default.asp', so something like:

mydomain.com/default.asp?f=myvar1&d=myvar2&id=myvar3

would be:
mydomain.com/f-myvar1.d-myvar2.id-myvar3

The page is always default.asp.

Also, how would I make this a default rule for the sites in IIS? Also I would assume that if I have other sites who have a different rules, the .httpd file in their root directory would override whatever the default is, is that correct?

Try this:

RewriteRule ([^?]*/)(?:(\?[^.]*)\.)?([^-?]+)-([^.]*)(.*) $1(?2$2&:\?)$3=$4$5 [NS]
RewriteRule ([^?]*/)(\?.*)? $1default.asp$2 [I,L]

Add it to the global httpd.ini

No, global rules always execute before site-specific ones.

Ok, I added the rule, but now if I go to http://mydomain.com/splash.asp the page does not load.. it just sits there... once I comment out the rule and save the httpd.ini, it loads, when uncomment it out, it does not load.. any ideas why this would happen?

All other pages seem to load fine.

The given rule can not affect this URL. But it may affect some related resouces (like images, etc). So, check IIS log to see what is happening.

Ok, I figured out what was happened. We also use the page splash.asp and when trying to access this page, it does not load, I'm guessing because it is trying to translate /splash.asp as well. So I am guessing that rule won't work for us, since there are still a few cases were the page is actually different than default.asp.

What about a rule like:
mydomain.com/default.asp.f-myvar1.d-myvar2.id-myvar3

Maybe that would be best? Can you let me know how to write this rule, everything I am trying does not work or the page does not load. Thanks a bunch!

So sorry, I need a rule that would work with any page, including splash.asp, default.asp, etc.

So would it be:
(/*\.asp)(?:(\?[^.]*))?\.([^-?]+)-([^.]*)(.*) $1(?2$2&:\?)$3=$4$5 [NS,I]

Is this correct?

Found some issues with this method... let me know if there is an easy fix. Basically it works, but in some pages we pass values in the querystring, for example:

default.asp?f=something&d=something&domain=somedomain.com&var=1&var=2

This does not work because of the .com, causes an issue with the filter. Same for other values that could be in the querystring, such as "Main St." or "54.32".

I was going to try and write scripts to replace these "." with something else,then replace them out again when needed, but was wondering if maybe if you have any ideas.

Another issue, is sometimes we have a URL such as:
default.asp?f=download&filename=myfile.pdf&var=1

This can cause some issues as well.

Maybe can we use conditions, for example if we are using the normal querystrings, such as ? and & , do not use . and -.. only use those when we use "default.asp." does that make sense?

I just wanted to provide more clarification.. is it possible to do a conditional rewrite. As not all our URLs need to use the rewritten URL. Most our URLs use the standard format, but there are a select few pages where we need to use the rule (created above).

So it would be great if we could have a statement that worked like an if then statement...

if 'default.asp.' is in the URL, then use the rule, if 'default.asp?' is in the URL, then don't use any rewrite rules.

Is this possible?

Place the following rule before the previous one:

RewriteRule [^?]*/default\.asp\?.* $0 [I,L]

everything seems to be working pretty well, but had a slight hiccup. For some reason thei above rule is not working for this URL:

http://www.newheightsrealty.com/frame.asp?frameurl=http://www.nypl.org/locations/fort-washington

Because there is a . and a - in the URL, it is treating it differently. Should I write a script to maybe find and replace, or is there a solution to fix it in the rewrite? Whichever you think would have less side effects. Thanks!

Here's another example of a URL not working properly...
http://wildrealty.com/website/photo_large.asp?photourl=http://photos.linkurealty.com/listing_pictures/4106/3ef5ab4f-169c-4221-9ea1-bdfac42f5576.jpg

cuts off after the "photos."

RewriteRule [^?]*/default\.asp\?.* $0 [I,L]

I figured I could just add a new rule such as:
RewriteRule [^?]*/frame.asp\.asp\?.* $0 [I,L]
and RewriteRule [^?]*/photo_large\.asp\?.* $0 [I,L]

which seems to work. I suppose this is probably the best method then?

It would be better to combine these 3 rules into a single rule:

RewriteRule [^?]*/(?:default|frame|photo_large)\.asp\?.* $0 [I,L]

So, these rules are in the global, since it applies to 99% of our sites, but how would i disable these rules for specific sites? I tried putting a httpd.ini file in the root with no rules, but no luck.

There is no way to override global rules on a site level. But you could completely disable rewriting for choosen sites (DisableRewrite directive).

Ok, so how would I do that.. we are using IIS 7 on Windows Server 2008.

Like this? DisableRewrite SiteNumber

DisableRewrite 678

Where do I put this in the global, at the top above the rules?. I just want to make sure so I don't cause any downtime on my sites. thanks!
