IIS重写规则不匹配-设置反向代理

Question

This seems to be like the simplest of thing which I am unable to resolve.

I want to rewrite URL if it contains the string extFlow , to a different host.

http://site1/extFlow/Testsvc/GetData/?val=1

to

http://site2/extFlow/Testsvc/GetData/?val=1

I have tried all rules eg:

  <rules>
    <rule name="Reverse Proxy to external" stopProcessing="true">
      <match url="extFlow/(.*)" />
      <action type="Rewrite" url="http://site2/{R:1}" />
    </rule>
  </rules>

If I just match with (.*) then the rewrite happens.

I am not able to match even with * match url="extFlow"

What am I missing?

Based on your statement "Yes for testing purpose I have both sites on same machine, but on a different port", I think that's what is breaking your rule. Let me disintegrate and explain it.

• Observe how you have "extFlow" in both your URL's.

• Let's assume a request came in for
  " http://site1/extFlow/Testsvc/GetData/?val=1 ". The URL rewrite rule
  is hit and its rewrites it to
  " http://site2/extFlow/Testsvc/GetData/?val=1 ".

• Since this new URL also hits the same machine and even it has
  "extFlow" in it, the rule will be triggered once again and again and again.

• So indirectly you are triggering an indefinite loop here.

Let me know if you have any questions.
