Product overview

ISAPI_Rewrite is a powerful URL manipulation engine based on regular expressions. It acts mostly like Apache's mod_Rewrite, but is designed specifically for Microsoft's Internet Information Server (IIS). ISAPI_Rewrite is an ISAPI filter written in pure C/C++ so it is extremely fast. ISAPI_Rewrite gives you the freedom to go beyond the standard URL schemes and develop your own scheme.

• Optimize your dynamic content like forums or e-stores to be indexed by a popular search engines.
  
• Block hot linking of your data files by other sites.
  
• Develop a custom authorization scheme and manage aclearcase/" target="_blank" >ccess to the static files using custom scripts and database.
  
• Proxy content of one site into directory on another site.
  
• Make your Intranet servers to be accessible from the Internet by using only one Internet server with a very flexible permissions and security options.
  
• Create dynamic host-header based sites using a single physical site.
  
• Create virtual directory structure of the site hiding physical files and extensions. This also helps moving from one technology to another.
