Redirect rule in web.config
The match url will try to match on the path after the domain, starting from after the slash. So it should be like so:
<match url="help(.*)" ignoreCase="true" />
The match url that you wrote would match on device.domain.com/temp/help, but not device.domain.com/help.

I was looking into this Seemingly simple redirect in IIS using web.config file because I have a similar situation, but the approach mentioned there doesn't seem to be working for me.
I have a help section on a web site, which for now I want it to redirect to another place. The rest of the site should stay the same, which means that only the help section/content should make the user go to another site:
device.domain.com/help
device.domain.com/help/version
Should make the request go to
company.custhelp.com
But for example device.domain.com/api should still work. This is what I tried. If I test the pattern inside of IIS it says that it will work. What am I missing?
<system.webServer> <rewrite> <rules> <rule name="Help Redirect" stopProcessing="true"> <match url="(.*)/help(.*)" ignoreCase="true" /> <action type="Redirect" url="http://company.custhelp.com/" appendQueryString="false" redirectType="Permanent" /> </rule> </rules> </rewrite> ... </system.webServer>
