We bought Helicon’s ISAPI Rewrite software to perform rewrites of our url. As of late we are looking to get IIS out of the picture and switch to Apache instead. In a test environment, I was having problems getting the Mod_rewrite to work properly. The way Helicon and Mod_Rewrite interpret the formatting is slightly different from each other. I was simply trying to do a simple rewrite like this:

# Employment
RewriteRule ^/partner$ /partner.do

This was causing the message in the rewrite log file to be:

[rid#7d3160/initial] (2) rewrite /partner -> /welcome.do?pmode=partner
10.10.1.207 – - [11/May/2006:14:36:08 --0700] [my.computer.name/sid#61f2e8][rid#7d3160/initial] (3) split uri=/welcome.do?pmode=partner -> uri=/welcome.do, args=pmode=partner
10.10.1.207 – - [11/May/2006:14:36:08 --0700] [my.computer.name/sid#61f2e8][rid#7d3160/initial] (2) local path result: /welcome.do
10.10.1.207 – - [11/May/2006:14:36:08 --0700] [my.computer.name/sid#61f2e8][rid#7d3160/initial] (2) prefixed with document_root to C:/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.12/webapps/csa/welcome.do
10.10.1.207 – - [11/May/2006:14:36:08 --0700] [my.computer.name/sid#61f2e8][rid#7d3160/initial] (1) go-ahead with C:/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.12/webapps/csa/welcome.do [OK]

It seems as if I have to pass through the rewritten URL to Tomcat and need to use the PT Passthrough flag.
# Employment
RewriteRule ^/employment$ /employment.do [NC,PT]

This has allowed me to migrate from Helicon’s ISAPI Rewrite to Apache’s Mod_Rewrite.
