Call WCF service without .svc file name

Question

Is there any setting that can allow me to access the WCF service instead of using

http://192.168.0.28/SampleArticle/RestService.svc/authorize

change to

http://192.168.0.28/SampleArticle/authorize

without added the RestService.svc reference name in the URL.

Answer 1

You can try to use URL Rewrite Module of IIS. You may refer the MSDN [blog]: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/endpoint/2008/08/22/rest-in-wcf-part-ix-controlling-the-uri/ .

Updated: You may try something below to replace the entire RestService.svc from the URL.

<system.webServer>
    <rewrite>
        <rules>
            <rule name="RemoveRestService" stopProcessing="true">
                <match url="^(.*)/(RestService.svc)/(.*)" />
                <action type="Rewrite" url="{R:1}/{R:3}" appendQueryString="true" />
            </rule>
        </rules>
    </rewrite>
</system.webServer>
