web.config: Request filtering

This article explains how to apply filtering through your web.config file.
When you open the web.config file you can apply the following:





What this further entails is the following:

• - allowHighBitCharacters="true" refers to the characters allowed in the URL, has two options true/false,
  if set to false then it is not allowed and if no-ASCII characters are present it will result in error code 404.12
  
• - maxAllowedContentLength="30000000" maxUrl="4096" maxQueryString="2048" This refers to the content of a POST request within IIS.
  maxUrl="4096" refers to the character length of the url.
  maxQueryString="2048" refers to the maximum allowed request values.
  So this is also within PHP, ASP etc. The values of this can also be adjusted to the circumstances.
  
  
  
• - After this you also see the rewrite rule, this is similar to the rewrites of Wordpress and several other sitebuilders.

For more information and questions you can consult the article of Microsoft on this subject, or you can of course see if the online chat is available.
