    Routing /page.htm to /Page (Url alias with a dot/extension in them)

    Is there any way in Umbraco 8 to take a route with a .htm extension and route it to an umbraco page? For example, I simply want:

    /page.htm

    to route to my Umbraco site:

    /Page

    I have tried using Umbraco Url Alias, but that doesn't seem to work with file extensions.

    I have found a few Umbraco 7 solutions, but nothign that will work with 8.

    Hi,

    I think this rewrite rule will work - you can add it in the web.config.

    <rules>
  <rule name="Rewrite .htm ext">
    <match ignoreCase="true" url="^(.*).htm"/>
    <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny">
      <add input="{URL}" pattern="(.*).htm"/>
    </conditions>
    <action type="Rewrite" url="{R:1}"/>
  </rule>

    More info here: https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/Reference/routing/iisrewriterules/

    Note: The above will break your Back Office, but I changed it slightly to knly catch room level .htm requests:

    <rewrite>
    <rules>
        <rule name="Rewrite .htm ext">
            <match ignoreCase="true" url="^(\w*).htm"/>
            <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny">
                <add input="{URL}" pattern="(.*).htm"/>
            </conditions>
            <action type="Rewrite" url="{R:1}"/>
        </rule>
    </rules>
</rewrite>

    Or maybe, I think you need to add a negation.. something like

    <rules>
  <rule name="Rewrite .htm ext">
    <match ignoreCase="true" url="^(.*).htm"/>
    <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny">
      <add input="{URL}" pattern="(.*).htm"/>
       <add input="{REQUEST_URI}" url="^umbraco/.*" negate="true" />
    </conditions>
    <action type="Rewrite" url="{R:1}"/>
  </rule>
