  Trying to transfer a Apache Rewrite rule for LAMP solution to ISS URL Rewrite module for C# MVC3 ...

  Apr 10, 2012 03:02 PM|LINK

  I am transferring a Apache Rewrite rule for a LAMP solution to a new C# MVC3 solution using URL Rewrite module.

  In its CSS files, for all image file references (for example *.png files), it is adding a querystring expression *.png?{VERSION}:

  div.build3-top-nav-logo {

  width: 981px;
      height: 110px; /* 75px; */
     
  
  background: url(/Content/graphics/top-nav-logo.png?{VERSION} ) scroll transparent top center no-repeat;
  
  }
  In it Apache .htaccess, under mod_rewrite section:
  RewriteRule . /resource.php?file=%0
  The referred to file within the aforementioned RewriteRule resource.php re-labels "{VERSION}" with a random version number to refresh item in cache (in PHP): 
  <?php
  $resource = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . $_GET['file'];
  if (file_exists($resource)) {
      $extension = pathinfo($resource, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
      $extensions = array('gif' => 'image/gif', 'jpg' => 'image/jpeg', 'png' => 'image/png', 'css' => 'text/css', 'js' => 'application/javascript', 'pdf' => 'application/pdf');
      // keep cached
      header("Cache-Control: public");
      header("Last-Modified: Wed, 15 Nov 1995 04:58:08 GMT");
      header("Expires: Thu, 31 Dec 2020 00:00:00 GMT");
      
      // set mime type
      if (array_key_exists(strtolower($extension), $extensions))
      {
          header("Content-Type: " . $extensions[strtolower($extension)]);
      }
      
      $version = sha1(date("YmdH"));
      $string = file_get_contents($resource);
      
      // replace the {VERSION} placeholder
      echo str_replace("{VERSION}", $version, $string);
  }
  Can the same action be performed within MVC3 using URL Rewrite module?
  Thanks

  Hi,

  You have posted the php source code, it's a little difficult to grasp your question for me. And I suggest you check this general article about Url Rewriting Module, it elaborates what ulr manipulation tasks the URL Rewriting perform. I hope it helps you to kown whether the url rewriting module can complement your requirement:
