We have an application being served by Tomcat 7 on port 8080. We want users to use SSL. So we are using IIS 8 as a Reverse Proxy to proxy connection from port 443 to port 8080.
This is what we are trying to achieve: https://app.example.com ==> app.example.com:8080/AppName/
Below is the URL Rewrite rule
<rule name="Tomcat Reverse Proxy" enabled="true" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" ignoreCase="false"/>
<action type="Rewrite" url="http://localhost:8080/AppName/{R:1}" logRewrittenUrl="true" />
</rule>
When this rule is executed instead of proxying the request IIS does a redirect and I see http://localhost:8080/AppName/ in the browser's address bar.
The problem is the AppName. IIS URL Rewrite module doesn't like uppercase in the action. However, Tomcat 7 is URL case sensitive and if I use "appname" in the rewrite rule Tomcat throws a 404.
Is there any way that I can get IIS to play nice with uppercase url in a rewrite?
