Hi everyone,

Here’s the updated code for IIS 5+ friendly URL

You can add this code to manager/includes/documentparser.class.inc.php at line 886:

// IIS friendly url fix 
if($this->config['friendly_urls']==1 && strpos($_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'],'Microsoft-IIS')!==false) {
	$url = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
	if(substr($url,0,3)=='404') {
		$qp = parse_url(str_replace($this->config['site_url'],'',substr($url,4)));
		if($qp['query']) {
			parse_str($qp['query'],$qv);
			foreach($qv as $n=>$v) $_REQUEST[$n]=$_GET[$n]=$v;
		}
		$_REQUEST['q'] = $_GET['q'] = $qp['path'];
	}
}

Ok today I found a bug when doing postbacks with the IIS Friendly URLs. Here’s the fix:

1) Point both your custom 404 and 405 pages to the /index.php page
2) replace the above code with this one:

// IIS friendly url fix 
if($this->config['friendly_urls']==1 && strpos($_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'],'Microsoft-IIS')!==false) {
	$url = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
	$err = substr($url,0,3);
	if($err=='404'||$err=='405') {
		$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']=$qp['query'];
		$qp = parse_url(str_replace($this->config['site_url'],'',substr($url,4)));
		if(!empty($qp['query'])) {
			parse_str($qp['query'],$qv);
			foreach($qv as $n=>$v) $_REQUEST[$n]=$_GET[$n]=$v;
		}
		$_REQUEST['q'] = $_GET['q'] = $qp['path'];
	}
}

Here’s also another solution for those who need true URL rewrite for IIS servers
