Hi,

I am working on a set of WCF Rest Services. I don't want the user to ever see or know about the .svc extension.

Let's say my service is hosted at:
http://localhost/MyProject/MyService.svc

Here are a couple of example URI templates as specified in the [WebGet(UriTemplate="...")] attributes of methods on my service.

/products
/products/{category}/{id}
/products/{category}/{id}?f={format}

What I would like is for the user to access these resources without seeing the .svc extension. So they should look like this to the user:

http://localhost/MyProject/MyService/products
http://localhost/MyProject/MyService/products/{category}/{id}
http://localhost/MyProject/MyService/products/{category}/{id}?f={format}

Of course, behind the scenes, the actual code that would be running would be located at:

http://localhost/MyProject/MyService.svc/products
http://localhost/MyProject/MyService.svc/products/{category}/{id}
http://localhost/MyProject/MyService.svc/products/{category}/{id}?f={format}

I have searched the Helicon forum and Google for an answer, but can't seem to find a specific example of how to do this. Of course, I've found answers like "just use Helicon's ISAPI Rewrite to reroute your urls".

I am looking for the specific rules to put in my httpd.conf file to make this work.

I am using the Lite version on Windows XP with IIS 5.x during development. I expect to be deploying to Windows 2003 with IIS 6, so the solution needs to work for both.

Many thanks in advance!

Hi Anton,

That worked perfectly! Thank you for your prompt reply. The best to you in 2009!
