Imagine if you could take all incoming requests to your web server and manipulate them at will. Imagine changing the HTTP headers on the fly or redirecting the user to another URL, only under certain circumstances that you specify. Or, envision yourself providing a friendly URL for the sake of the search engines while using query strings in the background. URL Rewrite offers extensive power and flexibility for all this, and more.

This chapter introduces URL Rewrite and the various concepts necessary to effectively use it. URL Rewrite isn't tied directly to IIS, so updates may occur between major versions of IIS. The current version at the time of this writing is URL Rewrite 2.0.
