Hi,
I know how to canonicalise the case of URLs on incoming request to IIS7.5, in fact, there's a built in rule template to start from. But how about outbound (without changing the code)?
This is where I got to so far:
<outboundRules>
<rule name="Outbound lowercase" preCondition="IsHTML" enabled="true">
<match filterByTags="A" pattern="[A-Z]" ignoreCase="false" />
<action type="Rewrite" value="{ToLower:{R:0}}" />
</rule>
<preConditions>
<preCondition name="IsHTML">
<add input="{RESPONSE_CONTENT_TYPE}" pattern="^text/html" />
</preCondition>
</preConditions>
</outboundRules>
However, IIS barfs on the action with a 500 implying an invalid web.config, probably on the {ToLower:XXXX} which I stole from the MS-supplied inbound rule template.
Anyone know how to do this?
Anyone know where the options are fully documented (my GoogleNinja skills failed me: I found this but "Specifies value syntax for the rule. This element is available only for the Rewrite action type" is not really comprehensive).
Thanks, Damian
