The URL Rewrite Module 2.0 - Release Candidate is available for
download. The release contains functionality and stability improvements and it is believed to have a quality level suitable for production deployments.
If a previous version of URL Rewrite Module, such as v1.0 and v1.1, is already installed then it will be upgraded to the v2.0 RC
If a beta version of the URL Rewrite Module 2.0 is already installed, then it has to be uninstalled before installing v2.0 RC.
Changes since the beta release
Here are the new features and changes that were added to the module in the RC release. For the complete list of the URL Rewrite 2.0 features refer to
Using URL Rewrite Module 2.0.
Logging of rewritten URLs. The rewrite rules can be configured to log the rewritten URL in IIS W3C logs as opposed to
logging an originally requested URL.
Allow list for server variables. To prevent distributed rewrite rules from accidentally or purposefully modifying
IIS server variables that may affect security or runtime behavior of a web application the modifiable server variables now have to be explicitly added to the allow list.
HtmlEncode function. Outbound rewrite rules may often use an un-trusted data (e.g. query string or HTTP headers) to build a replacement string
to insert into the HTTP response. In those cases the HtmlEncode function should be used to prevent insertion of client-side scripts into the response, which could result in cross-site scripting vulnerability.
Updated user interface in IIS Manager. The user interface has been significantly improved to better represent the module configuration and to simplify such common tasks as configuring of rewrite rules and rewrite conditions.
