Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

You use the Microsoft URL Rewrite Module for Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0 to rewrite a URL and to run a child request.
You use a relative reference in image paths, in a SiteMap node, or in the <form action=/> tag.

In this scenario, the paths for the image, the SiteMap node, and the <form action=/> tag are also rewritten in the same manner as the URL.

For example, consider the following scenario:

You have an Article.aspx file and an Image.gif file in the C:\wwwroot folder. These files are configured to be available through http://localhost.
You configure the URL Rewrite rule for URLs like http://localhost/1/AAA to be rewritten as http://localhost/article.aspx?id=1&title=AAA.
You display the Image.gif file on the Article.aspx Web page by using <asp:Image runat="server" ImageUrl="Image.gif" />.

When you run the request for http://localhost/1/AAA, the URL is rewritten as http://localhost/article.aspx?id=1&title=AAA. Additionally, the path for the image is rendered as http://localhost/1/AAA/Image.gif. This path is incorrect, and you cannot see the image on the page.
