Is It Possible to Redirect to a Different Port Using URL Rewrite?

Question

User1143845153 posted

Hi, Everybody!

I would like to be able to redirect (or intercept) a specific URL (e.g., http://<server>/<servicePath>/<serviceName>.asmx) to a different port (http://<server>:<portNumber>/<servicePath>/<serviceName>.asmx) where <server>, <portNumber>, <servicePath> and <serviceName> are placeholders.  Is that possible with URL Rewrite?  I am having a most difficult time with it.

Hi CodegoErgoSum,

http://<server>/<servicePath>/<serviceName>.asmx) to a different port (http://<server>:<portNumber>/<servicePath>/<serviceName>.asmx) where <server>, <portNumber>, <servicePath> and <serviceName> are placeholders.  Is that possible with URL Rewrite?

You only need to change the port number in redirect rule, here an example for you as a reference:

<rules>
   <rule name="test" stopProcessing="true">
        <match url=".*" />
   <action type="Redirect" url="http://<server>:<portNumber>/{R:0}" />
</rule>

Best regards,
