mod_rewrite analogue

mod_rewrite analogue [3.1.4]

For IIS web server there is no built in analogue to Apache module mod_rewrite, there are only modules by third parties.

But one can set up any arbitrary page handler.html as handler of 404 page (we also recommend set it up as a handler for 403.14 and 405 errors).

Original uri accessible in $request:uri.

Regretfully when IIS handles POST requests which have no document name (…/), IIS does not pass POSTed body to CGI-scripts.
Possible walkaround:for such pages set this action:
<form action="form.html"…
and handle inevitable "form.html file not found" error in @unhandled_exception and suppress writing it to error log.
