I need URL rewriting for IIS 6. (Unfortunately upgrading to IIS 7 or Apache are not options.)

Anyone have recommendations on which is best/worst?

• HeliconTech ISAPI_Rewrite
• Ionics Isapi Rewrite Filter
• Managed Fusion Url Rewriter
• Micronovae IIS Mod-Rewrite
• {other}

Thanks.

We use Helicon. No complaints- it does the job we want it to. But I can't speak for it being better/worse than the others.

Now that I think about it, a reason to go for Helicon (or not) is that it more closely mirrors the Apache httpd.conf layout. i.e. there is an httpd.ini file in which you put all the rules, formatted the same as Apache.

 

Other alternatives have totally different ways of doing it, such as including the rules in the web.config file. Though that may work better for what you're doing.

Yeah, I would definitely prefer something using the Apache syntax, but all four of those claim that (some in addition to other ways).

We're not likely to have that many rules and unlikely to do complex ones, so it's not a huge issue either.
