  Simple Redirect does not work

  Feb 13, 2021 06:55 PM|alexandros_k|LINK

  Hi,

  I want to redirect this page:

  /p/how-it-works

  to

  /how-it-works

  And i've setup this rule:

  <rule name="test" patternSyntax="Wildcard" stopProcessing="false">
                      <match url="*/p/how-it-works*" />
                      <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll" trackAllCaptures="false" />
                      <action type="Redirect" url="/how-it-works" />
  </rule>

  However, it does not work. I'm unable to find out why.

  Any clues?

  Thanks in advance.

  Alex

  Hi Alex,

  you could try to use below rule:

  <rule name="test" patternSyntax="ECMAScript" stopProcessing="true">
                      <match url="^p/how-it-works$" />
                      <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll" trackAllCaptures="false" />
                      <action type="Redirect" url="/how-it-works" />
  </rule>

  Wildcard matching assumes “exact match”. For an expression like “blog”, it would match “blog” and only “blog”.

  Regex matching assumes “partial match”. In this case, “blog” will match “blogger”, “demo/blog”. If you want an exact match you need to change the match expression to “^blog$”.

  you could refer to the below link for a more detailed explanation:
