I use ISAPI_Rewrite v2 for url rewriting quite a while. The site is in the Hebrew language and so the pages urls.
ISAPI_Rewrite v2 doesnt support Hebrew characters, but I overcome this problem by using ASCII code for the hebrew
characters. Here is an example:
Code:
RewriteRule ^/\%D7\%A6\%D7\%95\%D7\%A8_\%D7\%A7\%D7\%A9\%D7\%A8/$ /Contact.aspx [L,I]
RewriteRule ^/\%D7\%A6\%D7\%95\%D7\%A8_\%D7\%A7\%D7\%A9\%D7\%A8$ /Contact.aspx [L,I] |

The problem: While checking my popular pages in statcounter I came across this url:
Code:
| http://mysite.com/%u05F6%u05E5%u05F8_%u05F7%u05F9%u05F8 |
|
|
Which is the same URL rule as in my example but in Unicode! And apparently ISAPI_Rewrite v2 doesnt handle this
URLs, And I the user get "The page cannot be found".
There is also pages that are more complex, for example send part of the URL as a query parameter.. Which also in
Unicode.
I though only on one solution - make the same rules, this time in Unicode and deal with the Unicode in the code
behind. But there's 2 problems with the solution:
1.The URL shows for the user in Unicode and not in the Hebrew language.
2.More code in the code behind which, for my opinion, doesnt need to be. What I mean is that this scenario
can/need to be handle before it reach the code..
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Hello,
Using ASCII code for the hebrew is not supported in ISAPI_Rewrite 2. We suggest you update to ISAPI_Rewrite 3.
There's, actually, a workaround that includes usage of UTF-8 coding, if this suits you.
Regards
Andrew

I meant UTF-8 , not ASCII - and this isnt the issue. The
Unicode that appearing is!
