Making MS IIS Act Like Apache

Recently I was asked by a media company in Miami Florida to help rewrite URL strings using ISAPIRewite. I had some real difficulties in the past using ModRewrite on a Win 2K3 Enterprise box. So much so that the last time, I had to deferr to a company in Canada to bail me out. So I was a little nervous, but I learned a lot from that project and knew if an issue arose I had a Maple Leaf in my back pocket.

One of the biggest sellers for this package is its price. Free! Just wander over to http://cheeso.members.winisp.net/IIRF.aspx and get a copy for yourself. As with all this type of software the doucmentation is sparse. So over the next couple of days, I'll show you how to take so typical ColdFusion URL strings and change them into something a little more SES(y). Install your code and we'll see you tomorrow.
