doNotReWriteRegEx not working 

I have installed the module, and it works very well except with another module I have. I tried disabling the rewrite based on the module id, but it does not seem to work

I have this in my web.config

doNotRewriteRegex="(\.axd)|(/DesktopModules/)|(/mid/550/)"

 

Here is a link to the page:
http://www.vision-ease.com/home/provider-lookup.aspx

when you look up a provider (search for zip 55112 and click the link to the first listing),  you get this rewritten in the URL

Re: doNotReWriteRegEx not working 

OK, a couple of things:

- you want doNotRedirectRegex instead of doNotRewriteRegex.  It is the 301 redirection that is causing the problem.  Rewriting is the process of taking a friendly Url (provider-lookup) and replacing it with a tabid (tabid=124).  Redirection is the process of forwarding the browser to another Url (in your case, the broken url).

- You can try the |(/mid/550) on your doNotRedirectRegex setting, and see how that goes.

- If you're in contact with the author of the module, they need to check what the query string looks like before tacking on the end.  The underlying problem here is the '&' instead of the '?' to denote the start of a query string .  The Url itself is not valid.

Re: doNotReWriteRegEx not working 

Adding it in doNotRedirectRegex did nothing. I tried every configuration under thesun but was unsuccessful. I was able to use  page blaster to replace with the original URLs, which isn't ideal, but it works.

My new links looks like this

http://www.vision-ease.com/default.aspx?tabid=117&ctl=detailview&mid=550&storeid=10487&SkinSrc=[L]Skins/VisionEase/Tertiary%20Page&ContainerSrc=[L]Containers/VisionEase/title

Re: doNotReWriteRegEx not working 

It's not easy getting the regex filters correct.  It usually takes some trial and error using the 'test' functionality in the friendly Url Settings screen.

Your solution with pageblaster looks like it will do the trick though.  Did you just try reformatting the '&' character to '?' ?
