Can IIS Express support reverse proxies?


I'd like to set up a reverse proxy in IIS Express but it doesn't appear that Application Request Routing is supported (though I can't find anything which officially documents this).

My goal is to get a web server to proxy an incoming request to http://web.server/api/example to a second server (e.g. http://some.api.server/example) where web.server is running on IIS Express.

How might this be achieved?


Solution

  • No...you need ARR (application request routing) for doing this and arr can be installed only if you have IIS7/7.5 is installed.
