Rewrite URL rule for direct/base application only

Question

Im looking for a url rewrite to change:

/myapplication/  -> www.otherUrl.com

However the rest of the files should still work the same

/myapplication/default.aspx  -> /myapplication/default.aspx

only accessing the base application "/myapplication/" should cause the redirect.

I been trying with

      <rule name="Redirect home" stopProcessing="true">
         <match url="/myapplication/" />
            <conditions>
                <add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="off" ignoreCase="true" />
            </conditions>
        <action type="Redirect" url="www.otherUrl.com" redirectType="Permanent" appendQueryString="false" />
      </rule>

however this rewrites the entire application to otherurl.

I believe you need an exact match:

 <match url="^myapplication/?$" />

Notice the characters to denote the beginning and end.

The question mark is for the path slash at the end. It makes it optional.
