Specific steps for using the URL rewrite tool on IIS

URL Rewrite Rewrite tool is mainly to use regular or wildcard characters to match, for regular and wildcard to have a certain understanding, you can check the relevant information online, here is recommended to see the official Help document: URL Rewrite Module Configuration and IIS URL Rewrite module

First open the URL rewriting feature of the Web site under IIS:

We can see that there are many rule templates available by default by selecting Add Rule in the Action menu bar on the right or right, where we select a blank rule as a rewrite to add 301 redirects:

When we open the interface for editing inbound rules, we enter our own defined names, choose how to match URLs and the rules used, and rules can choose regular expressions, wildcards, and exact matches, using the regular as an example. Finally in the match URL pattern input. * (regular expression that matches all paths, this is the rule patterns in the document).

Here's a look at the rule pattern here: A detailed description of the matching url-rule pattern for the URL rewriting tool in IIS (rule patterns)

Next add the URL filter, logical grouping that according to their own needs to choose, such as the author is going to do the whole station 301 jump, so here with any match. Click the Add button, set the input to {http_host}, the type to match the pattern, the mode is ^www.shiyousan.com$, since the use of regular as the matching rule was selected, so be careful to use the correct matching rules. Here is mainly set to match all the two-level domain name path with WWW, regardless of whether there are parameters or the directory will all match to, equal to two-level domain name full station matching for redirect jumps.

Ps:

1. The server variable is not set if it is not emptied.
2. The {http_host} server variable type, which represents the requested host, is the value entered by the rule condition. If the selected type matches the pattern, it is commonly used query_string, Http_host, Server_port, Server_port_secure, Request_uri and other service variables. It is recommended that you look at this article: a detailed description of the rule conditions for the URL rewriting tool in IIS.

The final step is to set the action with five options for the action type: rewrite, none, redirect, custom response, abort request. The author chooses to redirect and then sets the redirect URL, where the URL is: http://shiyousan.com/{r:0}. All www.shiyousan.com URLs (including addresses with parameters and multi-level directories) are redirected to the URL of shiyousan.com, the top-level domain name. Last redirect Type Select Permanent 301 and you're done!!!

PS:{R:0} is a reverse reference that represents a match to the URL pattern. * The regular all match, that is, the rule patterns matching rules, specifically, you can see this article: detailed in the URL rewriting tool in IIS about the operation redirect URL {r:n} and {c:n}, You can also look at the official documentation: Using back-references in rewrite rules
