Trying to exclude css and js files with IIRF rewrite

Question

I'm trying to get IIRF working so that it rewrites certain URLs, but ignores files like .css and .js files.

I have URLs like:

/admin/
/admin/user/
/admin/user/view-details/1
/admin/user/view-details/1?edit

Which all work, but I can't seem to get this to work:

/admin/_assets/css/admin.css

My .ini file looks like this:

RewriteRule /admin/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)\?edit$ /admin/index.php?edit&action=$1&sub-action=$2&id=$3 [L,I,QSA]
RewriteRule /admin/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ /admin/index.php?edit&action=$1&sub-action=$2&id=$3 [L,I,QSA]
RewriteRule /admin/([^/]+)/$ /admin/index.php?action=$1 [L,I,QSA]
RewriteRule ^/admin/(.*)$ - [L]

I've also tried:

RewriteRule (.+\.)(php|jpg|png|jpeg|gif|ttf|sql|txt|htm|zip|css)$ - [L]

The things I've tried give either a blank document when I navigate directly to the css file, or I get:

HTTP Error 404.4 - Not Found
The resource you are looking for does not have a handler associated with it.

I don't have much experience with IIRF or IIS, so I'm a bit stuck with what to try next. Am I looking in the wrong place? Or have I made a really basic mistake?

Thanks

Did you place `RewriteRule (.+\.)(php|jpg|png|jpeg|gif|ttf|sql|txt|htm|zip|css)$ - [L]` before the other rules? Did you try to set `RewriteLogLevel` and look at the log file to see what's going on? — marapet, Aug 10 '11 at 23:14
Yes, it's before the other rules, but I'm not getting anything logged in the log file with RewriteLogLevel 3, maybe that's a problem in it's own right. — gmadd, Aug 10 '11 at 23:29
It's currently: RewriteLogLevel 3 RewriteLog C:\inetpub\IonicIsapiRw\log.txt - I should add, this was all set up before I got involved, it doesn't look like anything has ever been logged. — gmadd, Aug 10 '11 at 23:35

Tip for debugging iirf: use StatusUrl to check first for problems.

I've managed to fix this by adding:

RewriteRule /admin/_assets/(.+)$ /admin/_assets/$1 [L,I,QSA]

to the top of my file. I'm still not sure why nothing is being logged, but this fixed it for my needs.
