IIS outbound rule to change text within <span>

Question

We are currently using URL rewrites to replace images and links. But we would like to replace some text contained within a tag. Has anyone achieved this before?

I did try to add a custom tag

            <customTags>
                <tags name="span">
                    <tag name="span" attribute="" />
                </tags>
            </customTags>

But wasn't sure what to add as the attribute if its just the text?

Answer 1

You cannot, as IIS URL Rewrite is only designed for URL rewrite.

If you do want to post-process requests, write a HttpModule or IIS module, and hook to the relevant events,
