SC Notes: Details for StreamCatcher users

StreamCatcher v1.9.0.1 fixes corner-case problem
If you were remapping static URLs for web robots and staying within the same domain AND the name of the matching incoming URL was exactly 10 characters long including the leading slash (e.g. /qhelp.htm), then you might have noticed that your rule never fired. In that one case, you need this bug-fix upgrade version 1.9.0.1.

StreamCatcher v1.9 adds cycling
It is now possible to use StreamCatcher to remap using a Cycle token, which cycles through a series of replacement values (e.g. 1, 2, 3 or aa, bb, cc...). This can be used for load-balancing and for simplistic advertisement rotation.
Version 1.9 is a PAID upgrade, $89, upgrade in HREFShop.

StreamCatcher v1.9 major update
This version supports modification of data heading to IIS logs according to powerful regex rules.
This version also includes a standalone console which has all the features of the one which works in IIS 5 in a web browser. The only difference is that, for security reasons, the SCConsole.exe must be run on a computer with the StreamCatcher configuration files. You can use SCConsole.exe on a development computer to test all your filtering and logging rules, even if you do not have IIS installed or active on that development computer.

StreamCatcher v1.8.0.5 is ready
The new features are documented in StreamCatcher's HLP file. One is the <Conditions_tag> which may be added to rules to limit the rule to either HTTP or HTTPS. The other new feature is that the list of webrobots can be maintained in a separate file, referenced from the master configuration file.

StreamCatcher v1.5.2.5
StreamCatcher v1.5.2.5 is ready for download, and the help files have been updated. The manual has not been modified. The latest feature makes it easier for ASP programmers to remap their obsolete URLs because the equal symbol is now allowed in more syntaxes.

StreamCatcher v1.5.1.9 supports rewriting HTTP headers
StreamCatcher v1.5.1.9 posted. This version adds support for rewriting headers. Search help file for "rewriting headers" for new syntax.

StreamCatcher v1.5.1.7 posted (for WebHub users)
StreamCatcher now forces leading dash before AppID when remapping for web robots, but not when bouncing web robots. This applies on servers running multiple AppIDs with UseProcessID=true.
28-Feb-2004 20:45
StreamCatcher v1.5.1.6 (free upgrade)
This is a free upgrade for registered users. This version supports remapping from http to https, and fixes a fairly obscure problem involving browsable directories whose names started with the same characters as valid WebHub PageIDs within the default WebHub application for the domain.
If you're interested in forcing HTTPS, search for "HTTPS" in the newly posted help file for instructions. (You will receive the new help file when you run the new SCSetup.exe.)

StreamCatcher usage on Win2003
We have confirmed that StreamCatcher (as-is) works on Win2003 IIS 6 in "IIS 5 compatibility mode" and that it works in regular "worker process isolation mode" as long as you do not enable the Bytes Transferred report. Is anyone outside HREF using this report? We do not know. In any case, research has shown that the popular books on IIS are WRONG and that many things are still possible with filters that are documented as being impossible. So there you go.
