Prevent UrlRewrite for existing files
Vote:
It seems an custom url rewrite provider did the trick:
public class SplashUrlRewriteProvider : FriendlyUrlRewriteProvider
{
public override bool ConvertToInternal(EPiServer.UrlBuilder url, out object internalObject)
{
if (url.AppRelativePath == "~/")
{
url.Path = "/index.htm";
internalObject = PageReference.StartPage;
return true;
}
return base.ConvertToInternal(url, out internalObject);
}
}

I'm trying to implement a typical splash-page functionality while using episerver 5. Whenever I hit the www.site.com/ I want to be served a static html page but once I move from there and go to the startpage from within the site I see the "default" start .
It's totally okay to map / to the static file and /en/ to the startpage in episerver.
With the old url rewriting I used to be able to map e.g. index.html as the preferred default page type and since this was found before default.aspx I would get index.html whenever I go for the / directory.
However the new url rewriting is "smarter" and catches my request for /(index.html).
I tried various combinations e.g. mapping .htm to ssinc.dll but I'm venturing into unknown territory here.
As soon as I enable the wildcard mapping episerver will serve the startpage in episerver.
Any ideas on how to solve this? Is there a way to tell the FriendlyUrlRewriteProvider to ignore pages that are "found"?
