Lowercase URL

Reply Contact

I would like to make sure everything is in lowercase in my url. When I imported this rule it did not apply, it actual broke:

rewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /${lowercase:$1}

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Case doesn't matter in a URL, why is this important?

Look for Wrox's new book Professional IIS 7 in your local bookstore, or order now at Amazon.com

We need this for redirection to a linux server.
For instance http://www.example.com/homepage.html is not the same as http://www.example.com/Homepage.html

Hi,

What is your rewrite module? The rule is depending on rewriting module, please look it up at the document of the tool.

I am using IIS7 rewrite module. I do not control the destination page I am redirecting to, nor do I control their server.

The URL rewrite module for IIS 7.0 currently does not have the built in support for converting to lower case.

I think you could easily achieve your lowercased URL via a bit of code in the Global.asax.

-------------

Protected Sub Application_BeginRequest(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)

Dim strOriginalRequestURI As String = Request.Url.AbsoluteUri

Dim strLowerRequestURI As String = Request.Url.AbsoluteUri.ToLower
If String.Compare(strOriginalRequestURI, strLowerRequestURI, False) <> 0 Then
With Response

.Clear()

.BufferOutput = True

.StatusCode = 301

.Status = "301 Moved Permanently"

.RedirectLocation = strLowerRequestURI

.End()

End With

End If
