IIS URL Rewrite - asp.net-mvc

I'm trying redirect a URL https://site1.com/uploads/test.zip to https://site2.com/uploads/samples/uploads/test.zip. But it always showing error. What I'm doing wrong?

It is not working for you because your pattern is incorrect. When you testing your pattern, you shouldn't put full URL (https://site1.com/uploads/test.zip), you should put only "uploads/test.zip".
If you want to redirect single URL https://site1.com/uploads/test.zip then you shouldn't even write pattern. You can just make a rule like that:

How to use external URL as path (Rails)

I am trying to create routes within an app that I am working on like the following example:
http://www.example.com/entrepreneur.com/article/251468
My hope is to basically load an external page into an iframe by adding our domain to the URL. It needs to be without storing the external url in a database because I need every website accessable in this way. How can I do this?
You need a route with a wildcard like this:
get 'url/*args', to: 'your_controller#your_action'
See http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html#route-globbing-and-wildcard-segments
I would suggest you namespace the route under some keyword to catch this wildcard route explicitly (hence url in the above).
You may need to tweak the route to allow periods to prevent them from becoming the format. I forget if that's true for these or not.

Tapestry "/" in parameters bug

If I add slash / to the parameter of a page, even in encoded form %2F I get an error.
Sample URL:
http://mywebsite.com/somepage?param=dfgdfg%2F
Error:
Input string 'dfgdfg/' is not valid; the character '/' at position 7 is not valid.
I am trying to pass whole URL as parameter (to later redirect user to that URL) so there are a lot of slashes in there.
Is this a bug? Is there any workaround?
I could theoretically replace all slashes with something else than %2F but that is something I would attempt after everything else fails...
As I've learned this happens on Jetty only, which I use for development...
This custom service override solved the problem:
http://tapestry.1045711.n5.nabble.com/Customising-T5-URL-Encoding-tp2412550p2412551.html
Looks very hacky but works :).
See the Web Services More example on the JumpStart page. Works for me on Jetty.
The JumpStart page has many "how-to-do-this-in-Tapestry" examples.

Can I redirect www.abc.com/a b c/test.html to www.abc.com/a-b-c/test.html with MVC3

I am changing the way links show on my web site. I changed from allowing space in the URL to a new format where the URL has dashes where spaces used to be.
This effects only ONE string in the middle of the URL.
Google has indexed many of my pages with the old spaces in the URL but now they show up as 404s. Is it possible for me to put some code in place (temporary) that can redirect those URLs with spaces to the ones with dashes. I think it's a 403 redirect. A permanent redirect.
Thanks,
We wen't through the same thing recently. We ended up creating a LegacyController, which basically called into RedirectToActionPermanent or RedirectToRoutePermanent. (HTTP 301 - Moved Permanently).
Ideally, you should let IIS7 do the redirects, but we couldn't, because we needed to call our DB in order to figure out where to go.
If your redirect is as simple as you say it is (e.g no "dynamic" info in the URL), then you should use IIS.
Why don't you try to configure you routing to support both: legacy and new routes?
Basically /a b c/page and /a-b-c/page should be mapped to the same action of controller.

How do SO URLs self correct themselves if they are mistyped?

If an extra character (like a period, comma or a bracket or even alphabets) gets accidentally added to URL on the stackoverflow.com domain, a 404 error page is not thrown. Instead, URLs self correct themselves & the user is led to the relevant webpage.
For instance, the extra 4 letters I added to the end of a valid SO URL to demonstrate this would be automatically removed when you access the below URL -
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/194812/list-of-freely-available-programming-booksasdf
I guess this has something to do with ASP.NET MVC Routing. How is this feature implemented?
Well, this is quite simple to explain I guess, even without knowing the code behind it:
The text is just candy for search engines and people reading the URL:
This URL will work as well, with the complete text removed!
The only part really important is the question ID that's also embedded in the "path".
This is because EVERYTHING after http://stackoverflow.com/questions/194812 is ignored. It is just there to make the link, if posted somewhere, if more speaking.
Internally the URL is mapped to a handler, e.g., by a rewrite, that transforms into something like: http://stackoverflow.com/questions.php?id=194812 (just an example, don't know the correct internal URL)
This also makes the URL search engine friendly, besides being more readable to humans.

GWT Method GET, retrieve parameter

I have a gwt url like this
http://127.0.0.1:8888/BiddingSystem.html?gwt.codesvr=127.0.0.1:9997#ForumMessage=918
when I am doing this
Window.Location.getParameter("ForumMessage")
I am getting null??
By the way, I not getting the point why this ?gwt.codesvr=127.0.0.1:9997 in the url!!
To get the value of the URL fragment (the part after the #) call Window.Location.getHash(). This will return all of "ForumMessage=918".
getParameter() returns query parameters, not the URL fragment.
See here for more information about the parts of a URL.
The ?gwt.codesvr= part is needed to run in Development Mode.
Look at this topic GWT URL Parameters
Here is answer
url should be http://localhost:8080/?testing=abc#pg5 instead of http://localhost:8080/#pg5?testing=abc
and delete that part (?gwt.codesvr=127.0.0.1:9997 ) and run it in web mode. I think it will solve your problem
