I need to rewrite a url in umbraco. It is currently working if i leave the spaces in. However i want to remove the spaces and replace them with a + for more user friendly urls without a %20.
So this is working.
/For-Sale/6_24-Hunter Street-KELVIN GROVE-4059
But this does not. And umbraco just tells me that the page cannot be found. 404 error.
/For-Sale/6_24-Hunter+Street-KELVIN+GROVE-4059
This is the umbraco url rewrite rule that i am using.
<add name="SaleRule"
virtualUrl="^~/For-Sale/(.*)"
destinationUrl="~/Result/Item?type=For-Sale&address=$1"
rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString"
ignoreCase="true" />
Any idea on what i am doing wrong?
For those that experience this issue here is how i resolved it.
I found the answer in the following post - Is Enabling Double Escaping Dangerous?
To allow the + symbol in the url i needed to set the following in the web.config.
<system.webServer>
<security>
<requestFiltering allowDoubleEscaping="true"/>
</security>
</system.webServer>
The Url rewriting rules i had in Umbraco where correct.
