I've got some IIS rewrite rules in place, and everything is working fine. But i feel like i can consolidate them.
Here are my rules:
<rule name="Blog - Advice - root" patternSyntax="ExactMatch" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="advice" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="https://mysite.wpengine.com/advice" />
</rule>
<rule name="Blog - Advice - root (with slash)" patternSyntax="ExactMatch" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="advice/" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="https://mysite.wpengine.com/advice" />
</rule>
<rule name="Blog - Advice" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^advice/?(.*)" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="https://mysite.wpengine.com/advice/{R:1}" />
</rule>
I want to match the following examples:
/advice/advice/(should rewrite without the slash)/advice/sdfsdf/advice/sdfsdf/(should rewrite without the slash)/advice/sdfdsf/sdfds
Can it be done with 1 (or 2) routes?
If i leave the second one out for example, Wordpress (the site i'm rewriting to), will do a 301 redirect to a URL without the slash, and i lose the rewrite since the URL is changed again. (so i end up at mysite.wpengine.com/advice, which is wrong).
So i need to make sure any rewrites don't involve a redirect on the target site end.
Many thanks :)
