Intelligencia UrlRewriter force lowercase URLs

What is the best way to force lower case URLs on rewrite?

All has failed...what am I doing wrong? See the following:

Global.asax

I don't know which method to use?

void Application_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        HttpContext context = HttpContext.Current;
        string path = Request.Path.ToLower();

        context.RewritePath(path);
    }

web.config

I have tried using the web.config method but can't manage:

<rewrite url="(.*)$" to="$1" permanent="true" />

How can I change the above code so that it automatically force the url to lower case?

Use the url rewrite tag in the web.config. If vs2012 does not recognise the tag, run the script found on this page: http://blog.vanmeeuwen-online.nl/2013/04/visual-studio-2012-xml-intellisense-for.html Here are two other links that i used to figure things out. ScottGu'sBlog and Meligy's Blog

<system.webServer>                                               
<rewrite>
            <rules>
                <rule name="LowerCaseRule" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="[A-Z]" ignoreCase="false" />
                    <action type="Redirect" url="{ToLower:{URL}}" />
                </rule>
            </rules>
        </rewrite>
</system.webServer>

There us no way you can force your user to write lower case urls. All the urls you generate can be lower case. If you get a uppercase in your url you can redirect your user to a lowercase version.

void Application_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string path = Request.Path;
    if (ContainsUpperChars(path))
    {
        HttpContext.Current.Response.Redirect(Request.Path.ToLower());
    }
}

bool ContainsUpperChars(string str) { some code to test for uppercase chars }

Have you tried the URL rewrite module for IIS?

http://www.iis.net/download/urlrewrite

There is a particular rule for lower case: enter image description here
