Re: Extending IIS to enable URL Rewriting in ASP.NET applications

Unfortunately, a couple things are still pretty hard to do in the Integrated mode, and remapping the handler based on a Rewrite is one of them. Without boring you with technical details (about which you should be able to read about in my future blog post), here is how you can work around this limitation:

1. Enable all ASP.NET modules to run for all requests by setting:
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true" />

NOTE: This will basically ignore the preCondition=managedHandler configuration for the default managed modules in the app, allowing all of them to run for all requests. You may experience a performance hit for static files, but it may not be significant if most of your content is ASP.NET based as is.

2. Make sure that your module is running prior to MapRequestHandler (realistically, in PostAuthorizeRequest or before) to do the RewritePath call.

Let me know if this doesnt work for you. As I said, I will try to blog about Rewriting in ASP.NET 2.0 / IIS7 and various options you have there. This will be on www.mvolo.com.

Thanks,
