How to Debug URLs for Overriding Configurations in IIS

Question

Is there an easier way to debug IIS Url Rewrite configurations than this:

I managed to solve my problem with this information, but it was not very easy when you had a complicated configuration.

Answer 1

While some might say “as good as it gets,” I would say that it’s a pretty neat way to debug rewriting rules. You have full visibility in the pipeline and you can see exactly what happens at each stage. I have used this many times to solve problems with rewriting rules. Getting familiar with the FRT tool just takes practice.

Answer 2

Change it to rewrite to redirect inside the urlrewrite tool for debugging purposes.,. Works pretty much the same in the limited exposure that I give it.
