This is a post to help people know that there is a free URL rewrite for IIS7 that microsoft has built and it is pretty darn snazzy. You can get the download from here: http://www.iis.net/downloads/default.aspx?tabid=34&g=6&i=1691.

The documentation for the rewrite tool is here: http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/460/using-url-rewrite-module/

A nice video of how to configure the tool is here: http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/506/url-rewrite-module---video-walkthrough/

After downloading and installing, you need to configure the rewrite for a specific website you have created.  You can do that by using the included web.config in the SESRewriteRules folder of the installation directory of the ColdBox download.  Below is the contents of the file that you can use to import right in to enable Full SES rewriting within IIS7 and any servlet container. As always when using code from somebody else, please try it out first. So try out the following rules and tweak as desired.

Copy of BoxLang AI 3.4 Blog Series Part 5 : Reasoning Without the Guesswork

Reasoning-capable models have been usable in BoxLang AI for a while. params passes straight through to the provider body, so params: { thinking: { type: "enabled", budget_tokens: 10000 } } for Claude, or params: { reasoning_effort: "high" } for OpenAI, already reached the API. What never worked was reading the reasoning back. It was parsed out on arrival and silently dropped. In 3.4.0, that's fixed, and it's fixed the same way for every provider.

BoxLang 1.17 Series Part 4 : WriteDump Enhanced!

You call writeDump() on an ORM entity or a very rich class graph . The browser locks up. Thirty seconds later you get a page with forty thousand rows on it, you scroll for a while, you give up, and you go edit your code to dump a sub-key instead. Or worse, you crash the server.
