How to use URL Rewrite before HTTP Redirect on IIS

Question

So I have a website running on IIS on an address like this: myserver.com/mysite . From here I made a rule to redirect the site to: myserver.com/mysite/path/to/file .

I did this using the HTTP redirection module to make a 302 redirect to path/to/file and that works fine.

The problem is that if I dont put the trailing slash / at the end of mysite I get a 404 error, so I used the built-in template AddTrailingSlashRule in the URL Rewrite module.

So if I disable the redirect, the trailing slash gets added at the end of the website just fine, but once I enable the HTTP redirect, it sends me to myserver.com/path/to/file/ and obviously that doesn't work, because I get the redirect first and then the rewrite.

Is there a way to change the "order" of the modules? Or is there a better way to achieve this?

Thanks for any help!

Answer 1

For anyone having this problem in the future, I ended up disabling the HTTP redirect and made a new rule using the URL Rewrite module.

It simply matches the ^$ regex and then redirects to path/to/file .

That rule goes after the trailing slash one so with or without the slash, it gets added and only then it gets redirected.
