I have a VM in azure with IIS, I’m already running a website in that VM let’s say mysite.com not I’d like to have my blog in a directory within the website, the blog is a WordPress site hosted separately in another azure website like http://siteblog.azurewebsites.net
I’ve done a reverse proxy with two rules in the IIS, the issue is with the outbound rule, I get the following error:
Outbound rewrite rules cannot be applied when the content of the HTTP
response is encoded (“gzip”).
Searching on google I found this article and two questions 1,2 all of them practically apply almost the same approach.
According to the article, I have to add a key to the windows registry which as far I know isn’t possible.
On the machine running the web site, from the command line run: reg
add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftInetStpRewrite /v
LogRewrittenUrlEnabled /t REG_DWORD /d 0 You may need to follow this
up with an iisreset
my rules in the IIS web.config:
<rewrite>
<outboundRules>
<rule name="ReverseProxyOutboundRule1" preCondition="ResponseIsHtml1" stopProcessing="false">
<match filterByTags="A, Area, Base, Form, Img, Link" pattern="^http(s)?://mseblog.azurewebsites.net/(.*)" />
<action type="Rewrite" value="http{R:1}://mysite.com/{R:2}" />
</rule>
<preConditions>
<preCondition name="ResponseIsHtml1">
<add input="{RESPONSE_CONTENT_TYPE}" pattern="^text/html" />
</preCondition>
</preConditions>
</outboundRules>
<rules>
<rule name="ReverseProxyInboundRule1" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions>
<add input="{CACHE_URL}" pattern="^(https?)://" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="{C:1}://siteblog.azurewebsites.net/{R:1}" logRewrittenUrl="false" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
Questions:
- How can I fix the error?
- Any other approach besides using URL rewriting or reverse proxy?
