Set header from URL Rewrite on Azure Websites - Ap

问题:

I'd like to set a request header (HTTP_HOST to be precise) from Web.config, using the IIS URL Rewrite module, on Azure Websites. Basically I'd like to have something like this in my site's Web.config:

<system.webServer>
  <rules>
    <clear />
    <rule name="My rule" enabled="true">
      <match url=".*" />
      <serverVariables>
        <set name="HTTP_HOST" value="my value" />
      </serverVariables>
      <action type="None" />
    </rule>

This results in an error that HTTP_HOST is not allowed to be set. This is normal and with standard IIS the next step would be to add HTTP_HOST to the <allowedServerVariables> element to applicationhost.config directly or through AppCmd. However I couldn't find any hints on being able to access this config somehow.

Is it possible to somehow modify the apphost config, or add allowed server variables somehow else?

It is possible to alter Azure's ApplicationHost.config by applying xdt transformations.

Upload the file to the /site and restart your site for the changes to to take effect:

ApplicationHost.xdt

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration xmlns:xdt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform">
    <system.webServer>
      <rewrite>
        <allowedServerVariables>
          <add name="HTTP_HOST" xdt:Transform="Insert" />
        </allowedServerVariables>
      </rewrite>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>
