IIS Rewrite Input Types

Question

What are the input types you can use in IIS rewrite rules? The ones I mean are like as follows:

<conditions>
    <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" type=”Pattern” pattern="^www\.mysite\.com$" negate="true"> 
</conditions>

• HTTP_HOST
• URL
• REQUEST_FILENAME
• ?

Answer 1

You can try the below input types. See also reference docs for the URL Rewrite module.

• CACHE_URL
• DOCUMENT_ROOT
• HTTP_URL
• HTTP_HOST
• PATH_INFO
• PATH_TRANSLATED
• QUERY_STRING
• REQUEST_FILENAME
• REQUEST_URI
• SCRIPT_FILENAME
• SCRIPT_NAME
• SCRIPT_TRANSLATED
• UNENCODED_URL
• URL
• URL_PATH_INFO
• APP_POOL_ID
• APPL_MD_PATH
• APPL_PHYSICAL_PATH
• GATEWAY_INTERFACE
• SERVER_SOFTWARE
• SSI_EXEC_DISABLED
• SERVER_NAME

Answer 2

You can also use IIS (7 and above I believe):

Open IIS => Navigate to your website => Double-click URL Rewrite => Edit a rule => Add or Edit a condition => When you start typing '{' in the 'Condition input' field, a list of types will appear.
