Rewrite URL

Hi,

I am trying to add a few URL rewrites, as an example, I have the following in my webconfig:

 
<rewrite>
        <rules>
            <rule name="SpecificRewrite" stopProcessing="true">
                <match url="~/Users/Apples" />
                <action type="Redirect" url="~/Users/Products.aspx?category=apples" redirectType="Permanent" />
            </rule>
        </rules>
    </rewrite>

Open in new window

I am running through VS for testing but just get a page not found (HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found) when I navigate to http://localhost:56192/Users/Apples

Any help is appreciated.

Regards,

How am I able to add multiple rules? I tried duplicating but get an error

 <rewrite>
        <rules>
            <rule name="SpecificRewrite" stopProcessing="true">
                <match url="Users/Apples" />
                <action type="Redirect" url="/Users/Products.aspx?category=apples" redirectType="Permanent" />
            </rule>
            <rule name="SpecificRewrite" stopProcessing="true">
                <match url="Users/Apples" />
                <action type="Redirect" url="/Users/Products.aspx?category=apples" redirectType="Permanent" />
            </rule>
        </rules>
    </rewrite>

Those two rules have the same name "SpecificRewrite". May be that caused the error?
