  Map .aspx as .xml extension and pass query string

  Aug 05, 2018 10:15 AM|GeorgeClass|LINK

  Hi,

  Most of popular email clients use autodiscovery to get the mail server configuration calling an xml in a location but passing data as querystring:

  https://autoconfig.domain.com/mail/config-v1.1.xml?emailaddress=user@domain.com

  And the result must be an xml

  So far, I can show autodiscovery.xml and show the xml (eventhough the real file name is autodiscovery.aspx):

  <system.webServer>
      <rewrite>
        <rewriteMaps>
          <rewriteMap name="/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml">
            <add key="/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml" value="/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.aspx" />
          </rewriteMap>
        </rewriteMaps>
        <rules>
          <rule name="Rewriting to /Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml">
            <match url=".*" />
            <conditions>
              <add input="{/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml:{REQUEST_URI}}" pattern="(.+)" />
            </conditions>
            <action type="Rewrite" url="{C:1}" appendQueryString="false" />
          </rule>
        </rules>
      </rewrite>
      <httpErrors errorMode="DetailedLocalOnly" />
    </system.webServer>

  The problem comes when I pass the querystring, it returns:

  HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found

  The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

   What am I doing wrong? or is there another way to do it and I'm taking the hard way?

  Regards

  Hi,

  Try with those changes :

  <conditions>
     <add input="{/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml:{URL}}" pattern="(.+)" />
  </conditions>
  <action type="Rewrite" url="{C:1}" appendQueryString="true" />

  REQUEST_URI includes the query string. URL does the match only on the URL part and then the querystring is appended.
