Convert Drupal Boost Module Rules

Reply Contact

Wondering if IIS7 can handle the required rules of the Boost module. I was at the Pacific Northwest Drupal Summit today & this is a concern of mine.

I just tried using the IIS URL Rewrite rules importer and it doesn't look like the flags that are used in the Boost rewrite rules are supported at this time.

Someone might know better, or a way to convert the rules to avoid using the unsupported flags.

The rewrite rules use the features that are not supported in URL Rewrite:

S|skip flag (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriterule)
"-s" flag for the RewriteCond (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritecond).

The "-s" problem can be worked around by replacing it with "-f".

The workaround for the other problem is not that trivial. If you do not plan to use gzip complression then you can remove the gzip related rules, replace the "RewriteRule .* - [S=7]" to "RewriteRule .* - [L]" and try importing again. If you need to use gzip specific rules, then I do not see a way to import those.
