I've noted another post reporting the same issue with the symbol : Is there any workaround? thanks

  Re: URL rewrite not redirecting when page names contain + Reply Contact Are you sure that double escape is disabled? I have just tried this configuration with URL Rewrite 1.1 and everything worked as expected:     <system.webServer>         <rewrite>             <rules>                 <rule name="test" stopProcessing="true">                     <match url="foo\+bar\.htm" />                     <action type="Redirect" url="iisstart.htm" />                 </rule>             </rules>         </rewrite>         <security>             <requestFiltering allowDoubleEscaping="true" />         </security>     </system.webServer> http://ruslany.net

  Re: URL rewrite not redirecting when page names contain + Reply Contact  Hi Ruslany, thanks very much for your quick reply. Maybe my conditions were wrong, they were inspired from: http://blogs.iis.net/carlosag/archive/2008/09/02/iis-7-0-and-url-rewrite-make-your-web-site-seo.aspx Here's what I was using:         <rule name="Redirect Old Files and Broken Links" stopProcessing="true">           <match url=".*" />           <conditions>             <add input="{OldFiles:{REQUEST_URI}}" pattern="(.+)" />           </conditions>           <action type="Redirect" url="{C:0}" />         </rule>       </rules>       <rewriteMaps>         <rewriteMap name="OldFiles">           <add key="/The+first+page+name+.aspx" value="/folder/47-the-page-name" />           <add key="/The+second+page+name+.aspx" value="/folder/48-the-page-name" />         </rewriteMap>       </rewriteMaps>

  Re: URL rewrite not redirecting when page names contain + Reply Contact  Hi Ruslany, It seems I figured it out, I just used the console interface to enter mapping entries so it actually created the rewritemaps and now redirects properly. That was enough to properly redirect. So the plus sign was not an issue as you said. It is now just a matter of adding the old and new urls. thanks again for your help jw
