如何为没有 MapGet 的所有 GET 请求配置具有处理程序的 (.net6) WebApplication？

Question

I have a WebApplication running inside a console app with various MapGet handlers configured.

var app = WebApplication.Create();
app.MapGet("/", GetHome);
/* Other MapGet calls and handlers removed for brevity. */
app.Run();

Because this would be replacing an established website, I would like to specify a custom handler for any GET request that doesn't have its own MapGet instead of the normal 404 response.

Is there a way I can specify a GET handler of last resort? (One that allows any number of slash-separated folders and any or no file extension on the end.)

Answer 1

With a bit of experimentation, this seemed to work, if more by accident than design.

app.MapGet("/{**x}", MyHandler);

The double-asterisk appears to indicate multiple folders are allowed. The "x" is there because MapGet will only accept the string if the part has a name. If MyHandler has an HttpContext parameter, the URL is available in the context.Request.Path property.

I hope someone has a better answer to this. It feels there should be a Map call that simply says "All unmapped requests go here".
