Map .aspx as .xml extension and pass query string

Question

User-1063667917 posted

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=[e-mail]

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.
