IIS - ISAPI Filter - [Commerical] - Ionic's ISAPI Rewriting Filter 1.0.1

Apache has mod_rewrite; now IIS has a small, cheap (free) rewriting module:
 
Ionic's ISAPI Rewriting Filter (IIRF).
 
Specify rewrite rules using regular expressions.
 
An incoming URL like http://foo/bar/bam can be translated into http://foo/baz/bam.jsp or http://foo/baz/bam.php.
 
ASP.NET has a URL mapping mechanism, but it works only for filetypes that are handled by ASP.NET: aspx, ascx, asmx, and so on.
 
For static files or non-ASP.NET files, (XML, GIF, JPEG, CSS), the ASP.NET mapping won't work cleanly.
 
IIS, like Apache's HTTP server, has an extension mechanism: it is called the ISAPI filter.
 
There are commercial ISAPI filters that endow IIS with the ability to re-write URLs. This is a cheap and powerful alternative.
 
The comments insply free and cheap - they sort of don't normally go together so it is hard to know - no publisher site was found.
