I have the following rule in web.config designed to identify and rewrite outbound session cookies with both the secure and httpOnly flags:
<rewrite>
<outboundRules>
<preConditions>
<preCondition name="MatchSessionCookies">
<add input="{RESPONSE_SET_COOKIE}" pattern="." />
</preCondition>
</preConditions>
<rule preCondition="MatchSessionCookies" name="SecureSessionCookies" enabled="true">
<match serverVariable="RESPONSE_SET_COOKIE" pattern="^(.*sess.*)=(.+)$" />
<action type="Rewrite" value="{R:1}={R:2}; httpOnly; secure" />
</rule>
</outboundRules>
</rewrite>
This works as intended, up until httpErrors comes into play:
<httpErrors>
<remove statusCode="404" subStatusCode="-1" />
<error statusCode="404" prefixLanguageFilePath="" path="/path/to/404.aspx" responseMode="ExecuteURL" />
</httpErrors>
So when accessing /a-page-that-exists.aspx
, the outbound ASPSESSIONID cookies that get written out are successfully rewritten with both secure and httpOnly flags.
Request URL: /a-page-that-exists.aspx
Status Code: 200 OK
Set-Cookie: ASPSESSIONIDABCDEFG=...; path=/; httpOnly; secure
The problem is accessing /a-page-that-does-NOT-exist.aspx
. It appears that the [404] request is internally "routed" to the ExecuteURL
path and my URL rewrite rules I have in place are bypassed altogether.
Request URL: /a-page-that-does-NOT-exist.aspx
Status Code: 200 OK
Set-Cookie: ASPSESSIONIDABCDEFG=...; path=/
Any ideas on how to modify my outbound rewrite rules so that they can be applied to [404] requests before being handed of to my 404 handler?
