I have a URL I want to rewrite:<br />
<br />
A. &nbsp;www.mysite.com/oldproducts &nbsp; --&gt; &nbsp; www.mysite.com/master/default.aspx?state=all<br />
B. &nbsp;www.mysite.com/oldproducts/ &nbsp;--&gt; &nbsp;www.mysite.com/master/default.aspx?state=all<br />
<br />
One has a trailing slash, the other doesn.t<br />
How do I put this into a rewrite without using 2 rules? &nbsp;This rule I have will work for A but doesn't work for B<br />
<br />
&lt;rule name=&quot;ProductsRoot&quot; stopProcessing=&quot;true&quot;&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;match url=&quot;^oldproducts/$&quot; ignoreCase=&quot;true&quot; negate=&quot;false&quot; /&gt;<br />

IIS URL Rewrite syntax

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.
