  URL Rewriting - Remove all .htm extensions

  Nov 16, 2011 06:47 PM|LINK

  Hi All,

  I d like to remove all the .htm extensions off from my URLs  and tried with IIS friendly rule which rewrites the URL using the following code:

  <rule name="filename" stopProcessing="true">
      <match url="^folder/filename$" />
      <conditions>
        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
      </conditions>
      <action type="Rewrite" url="folder/filename.htm" />
    </rule>

  Everything works fine and the file name is returned as http://www.mysite.com/folder/filename instead of http://www.mysite.com/folder/filename.htm

  However, I have many URLs to rewrite in the same way as above and I reached a limit of URLs over which IIS doesn’t allow me to add more URLs.

  The question is:  is there a way I can manage this with wildcards or programmatically, that is by adding a single and simple rule which allows me to remove all the .htm  extensions to all my URLs?

  Thanks in advance

  I got it

  this is the sample code:

  <rule name="remove htm extensions">
          <!--Removes the .htm extension for all pages.-->
          <match url="(.*)" />
          <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
              <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
              <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
              <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" negate="true" pattern="(.*).htm" />
          </conditions>
          <action type="Rewrite" url="{R:1}.htm" />
      </rule>

  rewrite
