Hi Jim,
Great! That's the kind of elegant explanation of the link translator I
need to get me moving forward on my exploration of the tool. So, to
recap:
1. Link translation is applied only to outgoing communcations
E.g. Inbound requests for http://www.blah.com/stuff/ will never be
translated to http://server1/stuff
But... Outbound responses that contain http://server1/stuff can be
translated to http://www.blah.com/stuff
-- most truly doth thou speaketh(eth)
2. The new tool only works for inbound path mapping, and the path
mapping is not full featured. For example:
http://www.blah.com/stuff can be forwarded to htpp://server1/ on the
internal network
But, you can't have an inbound request for--
http://www.blah.com/stuff and have it fowarded to
http://server1/morestuff
Because that requires a more extensive rewrite of the tool.
-- once again doth the great Tomster spew forth mutch that is truthful and
wondrous
Also,
You can have the response:
http://server1/morestuff be link translated and path mapping "tooled" to
http://www.blah.com
Do I get a cookie yet? :-)
-- Chocolate chip or (my personal fav) oatmeal / cinnamon / raisin / black
walnut?
Thanks!

Hiya Tom,
Actually, Link translator only changes the protocol and server portion
of
the URL, and then only in the HTTP headers and links in the outgoing
HTML
stream.
This new fix was intended to allow the ISA admin to drop the leading
portion
of the path from the incoming client request.
This is almost what folks have been asking for (the full fix was
considered
too risky for a hot fix).
You could have a boatload of fun if you implement both of these fixes...
For instance:
Your web server is configured thusly:
/
/path1
/path2
/... etc
..it provides links that are internal (http://intserver)
You use link translation to change that to http://extserver.domain.tld
and
path mapping to drop /path1.
Now the external folks would never see /path1 because of the path
mapping,
but internal folks would have no problem whatsoever.
That's why we made such an issue of "coordinate this with your web
devs".

Hey guys,
Anyone using the Link Translation Tool? If so, check this out:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;331069
Jim brought this up a week or two ago, but it seems that you can do the
same thing with the Link Translator. I haven't played with it yet, but
if anyone has, let me know if I'm on the right track.
Thanks!
Tom
