I can't believe you have to pay for this simple functionality. God bless open source software like Apache.

I agree with the other comment. This is such a basic piece of web server functionality that it's ridiculous that there's no equivalent to mod_rewrite (or the various other similar FREE modules) in Apache.
I guess it shouldn't be a surprise why Apache has 70% of the market share and rising.
Sigh.

I finally found a free IIS URL rewrite tool after weeks of searching.. right here:
I wouldn't mind springing $50 for a good solution but it seems you have to update software version when migrating between OS (2000 to 2003) and service pack updates. Too much maintenance.

free. Regular Expressions. Redirects, Rewrites. RewriteCond. checkitout.
There are also a few rewriting options from within ASP.NET, although they're not great. I've written up an overview of what you can do here:

I ended up using Ionic's rewrite filter, works great.
Posted by: Phil Crosby at September 21, 2006 2:25 PMIs this the only way to redirect .htm or .html files on an IIS Server?

You can always use meta refresh tags.
