Sorry to be late to reply.

It seems to be the product issue of IIS 7 UI. I am going to investigate more for the issue.

You can update applicationhost.config directly as work-around.

Or, if you have installed the configuration editor, which is one of the IIS Admin Pack features, you can set the GB£.com string with it.

1. Open Inetmgr.exe

2. Select Server tree

3. Double-click "Configuration Editor" icon of the middle pane window

4. Type "system.applicationHost/sites" onto "Section:" dropdown control

5. Expand "(collection)" property by clicking "..." button which is by the property

6. Select the target site item

7. Expand "bindings" property by clicking "..." button which is by the property

8. Update the binding information to "*:80:GB£.com" from "*:80:"

9. Close all the collection edior dialog and click "Apply" task which is under the Configuration Editor's Actions group.

Hi,

In IIS7, we should use domains like "www.åäö.se" for web binding unlike in IIS6.

So, please try to using "www.åäö.se" string value for the binding information instead of using "www.xn--4cab6c.se" and it will work.

Configuring binding for international domains, IDN

Hi!

I recently ran into a problem trying to add a binding for an internation domain name, IDN, containing characters like ÅÄÖ.

In IIS 6, you could not add domains like "www.åäö.se", you had to add the PUNYCODE instead, which is "www.xn--4cab6c.se". I was trying to migrate my sites over to IIS7 on Windows server 2008, and naturally i tried to add the same binding. But after doing that, it was impossible to start the site. I only got the error "Value does not fall within the expected range.". After some testing i found that you get this error when trying to start a site containing a binding with the character combination "xn--" in it.

However, it is apparently now possible to add a binding right away to "www.åäö.se", bypassing the punycode altogether. Atleast that seems to work for me.

Could someone with insight into the inner working of IIS7 tell me why i get this crappy error that tells me nothing, and if i should be using the "www.åäö.se" binding instead, will that work as expected?

Thanks!

Feature request: advanced replace

Hi,

When migrating from IIS6 to IIS7 host header names are also migrated. In IIS6 we used Punycode host headers to encode IDN domain names. As I have seen so far IIS7 does not support Punycode in host headers anymore. Therefore, we want to do a Punycode decode while replacing the host headers during migration.

Given the syntax for the -replace option I assume that it is kind of hard to call a routine or method to perform an operation on the matched text to replace. That would be a nice feature: ability to use external methods during replace -or- the ability to write your own managed plugins to do so yourself. If there is another way to do advanced replace, that would be welcome as well.
