URL Rewrite

The url rewrite rules for Moonglade are controlled at web server level, not from ASP.NET Core kestrel. Because:

• Different users have different rewrite rules, I can not hard code it into startup.cs
• Web server like IIS, Nginx or LB, WAF can provide much richer and flexibility to set url rewrite rules

IIS Example

You must install IIS URL Rewrite Module before deploy to IIS.

The ./src/Moonglade.Web/web.Release.config is a default web.config transformation file to set url rewrite rules.

<rewrite xdt:Transform="InsertIfMissing">
  <rules>
    <rule name="Redirect Misc Homepage URLs to canonical homepage URL" stopProcessing="false">
      <match url="(index|default).(aspx?|htm|s?html|php|pl|cfm)"/>
      <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll" trackAllCaptures="false">
        <add input="{REQUEST_METHOD}" pattern="GET"/>
      </conditions>
      <action type="Redirect" url="/"/>
    </rule>
    <rule name="RemoveTrailingSlashRule" stopProcessing="true">
      <match url="(.*)/$"/>
      <conditions>
        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true"/>
        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true"/>
      </conditions>
      <action type="Redirect" url="{R:1}"/>
    </rule>
  </rules>
</rewrite>
