Rewrite Rule in IIS (web.config) - Negate All Subfolders - regex

I need to rewrite a certain page on my website from an extension-based page (.asp) to a non-extension based page. However when I do this the rule also affect all sub-folders. The page is as follows:
www.mysite.com/my-page
It needs to re-write to:
www.mysite.com/my-page.asp
However I need to negate the following from re-writing:
www.mysite.com/my-page/sub-folder-1
www.mysite.com/my-page/sub-folder-1/sub-folder-2
etc.
The code I currently have is as follows:
<rule name="re-write-rule-test" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^my-page" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="/my-page.asp" />
<conditions>
<add input="{REQUEST_URI}" pattern="^/([^/]+)?$" negate="true" />
</conditions>
</rule>
But it isn't working. The re-write on the actual page works fine but the the negation is failing and all sub-folder pages are also being re-written.
Can you please help?
Thanks,
Jason

I assume changing by would be enought (adding a termination to the match to avoid matching everything starting by 'my-page'. – Tensibai 58 mins ago

How to make a rewrite rule in IIS when a querystring parameter is missing?

I want to redirect when a Url is missing a part of the querystring. So, for example
https://www.example.com?foo=1&bar=2
is a valid url, don't do anything. But, when the url looks like this:
https://www.example.com?foo=1 I want to redirect to https://www.example.com. 'bar' is missing here, but 'bar' can be any name.
For this I want to use IIS redirects using regex. I've found this question: IIS URL Rewrite - if query parameter(s) is missing but I can't get it this to work in my scenario. This is because every other querystring parameter after the ? can have any name. The first parameter is always foo, but the rest of the parameters can have any name.
Can someone help me with the correct regex for this?
Edit:
Real examples of querystrings that must be redirected:
?crop=0,0,0,0 or
?crop=2.6111111111111112,0.22222222222222221,0,0
Both lacks the & so they must be redirected.
You could try below url rewrite rule:
<rule name="query string rule" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" negate="false" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
<add input="{QUERY_STRING}" pattern="^foo=(\d{0,5})$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="http://www.sample1.com/" appendQueryString="false" />
</rule>

Proper way to fix this rewrite rule?

We have an application that is run in a virtual folder in IIS. We don't want the virtual folder name to be part our links though (primarily to preserve original link names for SEO reasons).
So here is one example of a rewrite rule we're using:
<rule name="Rewrite Account controller to UI">
<match url="/Account(.*)"/>
<action type="Rewrite" url="ui/Account{R:1}"/>
<conditions>
<add input="{URL}" pattern="\.axd$" negate="true" ignoreCase="true"/>
</conditions>
</rule>
The problem with this rule is that it would also match "~/someothercontroller/258642/Accounting-Essentials" and turn it into "/ui/Accounting-Essentials". And I don't want to include the host because the host is different in each environment.
What would this need to look like to match only if the expression is the first thing after the host?
Edit:
Sorry, I guess my post wasn't as clear as I thought it was. An example would be http://x/Account. This should rewrite to http://x/ui/Account. The x could be any host name with any number of periods but it's only the host name so it wouldn't contain any slashes.
You can see in the rule I have above that I want it to include anything that comes after Account however I realize that's not quite right either because it shouldn't match "http://x/Accounting", but it should match "http://x/Account/whatever".
So essentially, you want to make sure that Account comes right after the host, and also that Account is the full name of the directory. You can achieve this like so:
<rule name="Rewrite Account controller to UI">
<match url="^Account(/.*)?"/>
<action type="Rewrite" url="ui/Account{R:1}"/>
<conditions>
<add input="{URL}" pattern="\.axd$" negate="true" ignoreCase="true"/>
</conditions>
</rule>
The ^ ensures that this is the beginning of the string that you are evaluating.
The / after Account ensures that you only rewrite the url if "Account" is the full name of the directory.
It appears from the documentation that the inital / will not be included in the string you're evaluating (which is why I removed it), but you can test it both ways to be sure.
Also note that I added a / before {R:1}.
Edit: Another way
You could also add a rule that verifies that the whole URL matches a certain pattern. This might actually be an easier way:
<rule name="Rewrite Account controller to UI">
<match url="/Account(.*)"/>
<action type="Rewrite" url="ui/Account{R:1}"/>
<conditions>
<add input="{URL}" pattern="\.axd$" negate="true" ignoreCase="true"/>
<add input="{REQUEST_URI}" pattern="^/Account(/.*)?" ignoreCase="true"/>
</conditions>
</rule>
The Microsoft docs give this example of the server variable values:
For example, if a request was made for this URL:
http://www.example.com/content/default.aspx?tabid=2&subtabid=3, and a rewrite rule was defined on the site level then:
The rule pattern gets the URL string content/default.aspx as an input.
The QUERY_STRING server variable contains tabid=2&subtabid=3.
The HTTP_HOST server variable contains www.example.com.
The SERVER_PORT server variable contains 80.
The SERVER_PORT_SECURE server variable contains 0 and HTTPS contains OFF.
The REQUEST_URI server variable contains /content/default.aspx?tabid=2&subtabid=3.
The PATH_INFO server variable contains /content/default.aspx.

Need IIS 7 Url Rewrite Version 1.1 Regex Help To Remove Folder From Url

I am using:
IIS 7
Url Rewrite Module Version 1.1
Asp.Net MVC 4
I am hosting my sites in a shared hosting environment.
No site is hosted in the root folder as all sites are in their own physical folder and I use the domain name of the site as the physical folder name.
I would like to change my urls from this
http://www.mysite1.com/mysite1
http://mysite1.com/mysite1
to this
http://www.mysite1.com/
http://mysite1.com/
I have this and it doesn't work.
**DOES NOT WORK**
<rule name="RemoveFolder" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="mysite1/(.*)" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="/{R:0}" appendQueryString="true" />
</rule>
Can someone give me a regular expression that would add www to any urls and remove the folder that is showing up in the url?
OK. What I typed below, doesn't work for me. I thought it did, but I realized it didn't.
#Cheesemacfly, I'm trying to remove the subfolder from the url,
Redirect the user back to the site with the url MINUS the subfolder,
Make sure that there is NOT a continuous loop.
Cheesemacfly, your answer didn't work, but it did put me on the path to the full correct answer.
Thank you chesse for putting me on the right path.
This rule removes the subfolder from the url and redirects the user back to the page without the subfolder. The condition makes sure that I don't have a continual redirect. Once the url has been rewritten, that conditional will stop the url from matching again.
I placed this rule in the ROOT web.config of my hosting account.
The root ONLY contains a web.config and all of the subfolders.
<rule name="Cleanup" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="theFolderINeedToRemove/(.*)" ignoreCase="true" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^mywebsite.com/theFolderINeedToRemove$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="/{R:1}" appendQueryString="true" />
</rule>

IIS 7.0 rewrite module for file name

I have a website with many links to *.index.html pages that do not exist any more, all default documents have now changed to index.htm, I'm trying to set a URL redirect/rewrite to the new pages but with no luck, here is an exmaple:
http://example.com/somedirectory/maybeanotherdirectory/index.html
I need to redirect that request to:
http://example.com/somedirectory/maybeanotherdirectory/index.htm
I have added different rules to the web.config but so far I can only redirect to:
http://example.com/index.htm
How do I sustain the exact path while only changing index.html to index.htm?
Such an old question, and I stumbled across it purely by happenstance. In case anybody comes across it in look for an answer, you can install the IIS URL ReWrite module, and add the following to your web.config:
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Html to htm">
<match url="(.*)\.html" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="{R:1}.htm" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
Cheers!

IIS URL Rewrite RegExp to not match a directory

Have a IIS7 URL rewrite rule which uses friendly url so for example regEx is ([A-Za-z]+)/([A-Za-z]+)
www.mysite.com/genetics/overview
gets rewritten to
www.mysite.com/genetics/default.aspx?a=overview
Now I need to change the RegEx so it excludes the Content folder and any subdirectory in this folder. Been trying a few examples with no luck so far it either gives me back a 404 or no improvement to the current page (which loses all it's images and styles). Anyone have or know a RegEx that will select any folder other than a certain Named folder like Content?
Never mind found that in IIS for a directory you can ignore the rule. Applied that now all is working good.
<conditions>
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true"/>
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true"/>
<add input="{URL}" pattern="WebResource.axd" negate="true"/>
</conditions>
