RhodeCode proxied by IIS 7 - iis-7

Question

I installed RhodeCode 1.2.2 at a Windows 2008R2 (64Bit) box.
I had setup a IIS 7 as a Proxy Server (Application Request Routing + URL Rewrite) for RhodeCode running at 127.0.0.1:5000.
The Repository is reachable via "https://subdomain.domain.de".
At the repository summary, the Clone url points to:
https://[username]#127.0.0.1:5000/SomeProject
At the client side, I can clone the repository when replacing the
"127.0.0.1:5000" with "subdomain.domain.de".
For sure I would like that RhodeCode displays the Proxy url
("subdomain.domain.de") instead of the 127.XXX...
I search the web up and down and the only thing I found, was that
Apache has a "ProxyPreserveHost On" setting, which does the trick. However
I didn't found anything like that for IIS.
Is there somewhere a setting within the "production.ini" where I can
define the proxy url?
Or does someone found the well hidden setting within the IIS?
Any help is much appreciated :-)
thanks for your answer! I already use the ARR and setup the reverse proxy, I can access RhodeCode via the proxy. However, it looks like that the HTTP_HOST value is not forwarded to paster.
Within the IIS, I setup the following server variables and set them within the reverse proxy rule:
<set name="HTTP_HOST" value="[subdomain.domain.de]" />
<set name="HTTP_X_FORWARDED_SERVER" value="[subdomain.domain.de]" />
<set name="HTTP_X_ORIGINAL_HOST" value="[subdomain.domain.de]" />
<set name="HTTP_X_HTTP_HOST" value="[subdomain.domain.de]" />
<set name="HTTP_X_URL_SCHEME" value="https" />
but that have no affect at all.
At the linked previously answer, he suggested to copy these variable values back to the HTTP_HOST (within tomcat, should be paster in my case). That looks a bit overkilled to me, in comparsion to a simple "ProxyPreserveHost On" within apache. I have the feeling that I missed something here.

Answer 1

Itvan is correct, that will work.
Uncommenting the clone_uri will leave the default clone_uri. You can force the clone_uri to use your domain by having that line:
clone_uri = {scheme}://{user}{pass}[subdomain.domain.de]{path}
PS: Works on version 1.3.6

I'm working on out reverse proxying over https for rhodecode with apache on centos6 right now.
For Apache, the configuration noted by marcin of rhodecode fame is:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName hg.myserver.com
ServerAlias hg.myserver.com
<Proxy *>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Proxy>
#important !
#Directive to properly generate url (clone url) for pylons
ProxyPreserveHost On
#rhodecode instance
ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:5000/
ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:5000/
#to enable https use line below
#SetEnvIf X-Url-Scheme https HTTPS=1
</VirtualHost>
For the IIS equivilent of ProxyPreserveHost, see Application Request Routing, which was provided in a previously answer by a MSFT MVP.
The http server is actually python paste's httpserver, so referring to the python paste documentation for httpserver (egg#Paste:http is familiar right), there is no proxy configuration. You will have to reverse proxy in IIS (source)
I am unsure why marcin has opted to advise setting up the reverse proxy versus utilizing paste's httpserver support for https; but having IIS field the requests, and binding paste's httpserver to 127.0.0.1 is likely best choice.

I've just installed RhodeCode 1.3.3 and got into this issue. You can edit this line in configuration file to make it work:
## overwrite schema of clone url
## available vars:
## scheme - http/https
## user - current user
## pass - password
## netloc - network location
## path - usually repo_name
#clone_uri = {scheme}://{user}{pass}{netloc}{path}
clone_uri = {scheme}://{user}{pass}yourdomain.com{path}
