Iis – Redirect incoming requests to specific URLs in IIS 7

iisiis-7iis-7.5redirect

I found in IIS HTTP Redirect feature, but I can only redirect all incoming requests to specific destination. Is it possible to redirect incoming requests to specific URLs in IIS? For example:

my.domain.com/blog/about -> other.domainxyz.com/site/about
my.domain.com/blog/post/5 -> other.domainxyz.com/site/5

UPDATE

This is how web.config looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
  <system.webServer>
        <rewrite>
            <rules>
                <rule name="home" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="^$" />
                    <action type="Redirect" url="http://yojimbo87.github.com/" />
                </rule>
                <rule name="about" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="^Blog/About$" />
                    <action type="Redirect" url="http://yojimbo87.github.com/about/about.html" />
                </rule>
            </rules>
        </rewrite>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>

I havent't found URL Rewrite module among the Role Services although HTTP Redirection is there.

This rule will redirect SPECIFIC incoming request to specific URL:

<system.webServer>
    <rewrite>
        <rules>
            <rule name="Redirect Specific Page" stopProcessing="true">
                <match url="^blog/post/5$" />
                <action type="Redirect" url="http://other.domainxyz.com/site/5" />
            </rule>
        </rules>
    </rewrite>
</system.webServer>

UPDATE: I have merged them together -- just update it with real URLs:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
  <system.webServer>
        <rewrite>
            <rules>
                <rule name="home" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="^$" />
                    <action type="Redirect" url="http://yojimbo87.github.com/" />
                </rule>
                <rule name="about" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="^Blog/About$" />
                    <action type="Redirect" url="http://yojimbo87.github.com/about/about.html" />
                </rule>
                <rule name="Redirect Specific Page" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="^blog/post/5$" />
                    <action type="Redirect" url="http://other.domainxyz.com/site/5" />
                </rule>
            </rules>
        </rewrite>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>

Cannot 301 redirect with IIS URL Rewrite Module

The patterns are relative to the root of the site, not including the domain name, so in this case, the pattern should be:

^test\.html

This will match http://example.com/test.html and then apply the rules you have set for it.

Using IIS 7.5 URL Rewrite, how can I redirect all requests not from a particular subdomain to a specific page

Since you haven't posted your existing rule (the one that results in redirect looping), I can't tell you why it doesn't work. I can tell you what should work though:

<rule name="Rewrite all but one subdomain" stopProcessing="true">
  <match url="domain.com" />
  <conditions logicalGrouping="matchAll">
    <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" negate="true" pattern="^x.domain\.com$" />
    <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" negate="true" pattern="^domain\.com$" />
  </conditions>
  <action type="Redirect" url="http://domain.com/a/" appendQueryString="false" />
</rule>

<rule name="Rewrite domain requests" stopProcessing="true">
  <match url="domain.com" />
  <conditions logicalGrouping="matchAll">
    <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^domain\.com$" />
    <add input="{PATH_INFO}" pattern="^/a/$" negate="true" />
  </conditions>
  <action type="Redirect" url="http://domain.com/a/" appendQueryString="false" />
</rule>

Here we have to rules, one to rewrite all requests where the url matches domain.com except for host headers exactly matching x.domain.com and domain.com (to avoid looping).

The second rule matches requests for exactly domain.com and to any other place than /a/ and redirects them if necessary
