I have a very simple OutBound UrlRewriter rule that rewrites url's it finds in the body of the http response stream:
<rewrite>
<outboundRules>
<rule name="Scripted"
preCondition="IsHtml"
patternSyntax="ECMAScript"
stopProcessing="false">
<match filterByTags="None" pattern="http://someurl.com" />
<action type="Rewrite" value="http://anotherurl.com" />
</rule>
<preConditions>
<preCondition name="IsHtml" patternSyntax="Wildcard">
<add input="{RESPONSE_CONTENT_TYPE}" pattern="^text/html" />
</preCondition>
</preConditions>
</outboundRules>
</rewrite>
The problem is that as soon as I turn on the preCondition
no rewriting takes place.
I need to be able to use a pre-condition because the page is an ASP.NET page and uses ASP.NET script resources e.g. <script src="ScriptResource.axd?d=...." type="text/javascript" />
.
By default script resources are gzip compressed and I want to keep them that way. Without the content type precondition the URL rewriter RewriteModule
throws a 500.52 error - "Outbound rewrite rules cannot be applied when the content of the HTTP response is encoded ("gzip")."
Using Fiddler I can see that Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
is being sent in the response header but UrlRwriter seems unable to match this.
Why is this happening?
