UrlRewriter enhancement

The UrlRewriter will now look at the complete Url in the LookFor portion of the RewriterRule from SiteUrls.config.

This means that now you can have tabs be redirected based on the hostname of the Url if so desired.

One place this might be handy is if you have a wildcard DNS entry setup so that all hostnames for a specfic domain come to your dotnetnuke install.  Then with the RewriterRule you can make different intial tabs show up based on how the user arrived at the site.

So, say you had a marketing campaign going and you wanted to track what promotion got them to your site. Or maybe you want to give affiliate referrals a special tab on your site and make the url really easy for them to remember.

You can do this with SiteUrls.config by putting entries in like these for example:

<RewriterRule>
   <LookFor>contest1.mysite.com.*</LookFor>
   <SendTo>~/Default.aspx?tabname=contest1</SendTo>
</RewriterRule>

<RewriterRule>
   <LookFor>greatAffiliate.mysite.com.*</LookFor>
   <SendTo>~/Default.aspx?tabid=299</SendTo>
</RewriterRule>
