URL Rewrite Filter for IIS
Powered by regular expressions, Mod Rewrite is an URL rewrite engine
made to help webmasters gain control over the way Mircrosoft's IIS handles
URLs.
Mod Rewrite is placed between IIS and the HTTP requests made to the web
server, giving it the ability to manage URLs before they are processed.
Advantages of Mod Rewrite
Search Engine Optimization
In today's market, information is everything, people is always in search
for information and search engines are being used in order to find that
information. Almost 80% of the sales generated on the internet are referred
by search engines.
Don't loose the opportunity to be indexed because your URLs are full with
query strings. With Mod Rewrite you can make those pages search engine
frienldy and easier to index, give it a try, we're sure you are going
to see the difference.
Security
Do you remember IIS's bug ::$DATA about 4 years ago? there
was a bug found in IIS making it possible for anyone on the internet to
attach ::$DATA to the URL and get the source code of the file.
Imagine for a moment someone makes this request "/global.asp::$DATA"
on your server and the server instead of sending an user unauthorized
request, it sends the file as plain text, would you like people seeing
what's on your global.asa?
With Mod Rewrite you can protect your web server for malicious URLs. Just
create a rule to scan incoming requests for global.asa and send the request
to /denied.asp. So simple would it be: RewriteRule ^/global.asa /denied.htm
Usability
From a visitor's point of view, friendly URLs are easier to remember,
read, and give a better understanding of your website's structure.
For a great explanation of URL usability please read Jesse
