Using ASP.NET routing to serve static files

by

Why not use IIS to do this? You could create a redirect rule to point any requests from the first route to the second one before it even gets to your application. Because of this, it would be a quicker method for redirecting requests.

Assuming you have IIS7+, you would do something like…

<rule name="Redirect Static Images" stopProcessing="true">
  <match url="^static/?(.*)$" />
  <action type="Redirect" url="/a/b/c/{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>

Or, if you don’t need to redirect, as suggested by @ni5ni6:

<rule name="Rewrite Static Images" stopProcessing="true">
  <match url="^static/?(.*)$" />
  <action type="Rewrite" url="/a/b/c/{R:1}" />
</rule>

Edit 2015-06-17 for @RyanDawkins:

And if you’re wondering where the rewrite rule goes, here is a map of its location in the web.config file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
  <system.webServer>
    <rewrite>
      <rules>
        <!-- rules go below -->
        <rule name="Redirect Static Images" stopProcessing="true">
          <match url="^static/?(.*)$" />
          <action type="Redirect" url="/a/b/c/{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent" />
        </rule>
      </rules>
    </rewrite>
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>
