    What happened to urlrewriting in umbraco 8?

    We are porting an old project to umbraco 8. Umbraco 9 wasn't stable yet when we started so its too late now.

    Anyway, one of the features is the urlrewriting.config

    Syntax looked like this

    <add name="productspecialrequest"
        virtualUrl="^~/product/category/(.*)"
        destinationUrl="~/product/category.aspx?pname=$1"
        ignoreCase="true" />

    or

    <add name="productspecialrequest2"
        virtualUrl="^~/product/category/(.*)/(.*)"
        destinationUrl="~/product/category.aspx?pname=$1&something=$2"
        ignoreCase="true" />

    We liked this version because we just pass it in a query string then it catches anything after /category/ then use this to search for content from another non-umbraco database.

    How do you do this now in umbraco 8?

    UrlRewriting.net was removed in 7.6.

    For v8 you can use IIS Url Rewrites instead: https://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite

    For v9, it depends on your hosting setup.
