Web.config URL Rewrite

Question

I would like to rewrite all paths, except those that are real files or real directories, and /api/* to ~/Default.aspx .

This is what I have so far:

  <rules>
    <rule name="default" patternSyntax="Wildcard">
      <match url="*" ignoreCase="false" />
      <conditions>
        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
      </conditions>
      <action type="Rewrite" url="Default.aspx" />
    </rule>
  </rules>

The problem with this is that it rewrites /api/* to Default.aspx as well.

Answer 1

Try adding the following condition:

<conditions>
    <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
    <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
    <add input="{URL}" negate="true" pattern="(?:\/api)" />
</conditions>

Answer 2

I figured it out.

<rules>
  <rule name="api" stopProcessing="true">
    <match url="(.*api*)" ignoreCase="true" />
    <action type="None" />
  </rule>
  <rule name="default" patternSyntax="Wildcard" stopProcessing="true">
    <match url="*" ignoreCase="false" />
    <conditions>
      <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
      <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
    </conditions>
    <action type="Rewrite" url="Default.aspx" />
  </rule>
</rules>
