Hello, I have made a config section in my web.config file that has all rewrite rules like the following
<rewrite>
<outboundRules>
<rule name="OutboundRewriteCatalogURL" preCondition="ResponseIsHtml1">
<match filterByTags="A" pattern="^(.*/)Catalog\.aspx\?Catalog=([^=&]+)&(?:amp;)?Title=([^=&]+)$" />
<action type="Rewrite" value="{R:1}ctlg/{R:2}/{R:3}/" />
</rule>
<rule name="OutboundRewriteCategoryURL" preCondition="ResponseIsHtml1">
<match filterByTags="A" pattern="^(.*/)ProductList\.aspx\?Catalog=([^=&]+)&(?:amp;)?Category=([^=&]+)&(?:amp;)?Title=([^=&]+)$" />
<action type="Rewrite" value="{R:1}categ/{R:2}/{R:3}/{R:4}/" />
</rule>
<rule name="OutboundRewriteFullProductURL" preCondition="ResponseIsHtml1">
<match filterByTags="A, Form, Img" pattern="^(.*/)Product\.aspx\?Catalog=([^=&]+)&(?:amp;)?Category=([^=&]+)&(?:amp;)?Product=([^=&]+)&(?:amp;)?Title=([^=&]+)$" />
<action type="Rewrite" value="{R:1}prd/{R:2}-{R:3}-{R:4}/{R:5}/" />
</rule>
<preConditions>
<preCondition name="ResponseIsHtml1">
<add input="{RESPONSE_CONTENT_TYPE}" pattern="^text/html" />
</preCondition>
</preConditions>
</outboundRules>
<rules>
<rule name="RedirectCatalogURL" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^Catalog\.aspx$" />
<conditions>
<add input="{REQUEST_METHOD}" pattern="^POST$" negate="true" />
<add input="{QUERY_STRING}" pattern="^Catalog=([^=&]+)&Title=([^=&]+)$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="Catalog/{C:1}/{C:2}" appendQueryString="false" />
</rule>
<rule name="RewriteCatalogURL" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^ctlg/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$" />
<conditions>
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="Catalog.aspx?Catalog={R:1}&Title={R:2}" />
</rule>
<rule name="RedirectCategoryURL" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^ProductList\.aspx$" />
<conditions>
<add input="{REQUEST_METHOD}" pattern="^POST$" negate="true" />
<add input="{QUERY_STRING}" pattern="^Catalog=([^=&]+)&Category=([^=&]+)&Title=([^=&]+)$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="categ/{C:1}/{C:2}/{C:3}" appendQueryString="false" />
</rule>
<rule name="RewriteCategoryURL" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^categ/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$" />
<conditions>
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="ProductList.aspx?Catalog={R:1}&Category={R:2}&Title={R:3}" />
</rule>
<rule name="RedirectProductURL" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^Product\.aspx$" />
<conditions>
<add input="{REQUEST_METHOD}" pattern="^POST$" negate="true" />
<add input="{QUERY_STRING}" pattern="^Catalog=([^=&]+)&Category=([^=&]+)&Product=([^=&]+)&Title=([^=&]+)$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="prd/{C:1}-{C:2}-{C:3}/{C:4}" appendQueryString="false" />
</rule>
<rule name="RewriteProductURL" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^prd/([^/]+)-([^/]+)-([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$" />
<conditions>
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="Product.aspx?Catalog={R:1}&Category={R:2}&Product={R:3}&Title={R:4}" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
Its very nice and working good but I dont want to have all these stuff in the web.config file , is there a way to have rewrite configuration in an external config file?
