title: How to rewrite base path (i.e. "/") with IIS rewrite?
body: <p>How do I rewrite site's base path (i.e. <code>/</code>) using IIS rewrite?</p>
  
  <p>I've tried this so far:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;rule name="RewriteIndexUrl" stopProcessing="true"&gt;
        &lt;match url="/" /&gt;
        &lt;conditions&gt;
           &lt;add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" /&gt;
           &lt;add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" /&gt;
        &lt;/conditions&gt;
       &lt;action type="Rewrite" url="index.html" /&gt;
  &lt;/rule&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Currently it's not rewriting that base path, and it's returning the <code>index.html</code> directly.</p>
