IIS Rewrite does not work for the root of an application

With IIS7, URL Rewrite 2 there is an MVC4 application APP on server SRV. The following rewrite should happen.

http://SRV/APP into http://SRV/APP/

I tried by creating the AddTrailingSlash rule. However, it does not work for the application's root. It does work for directories under the root, so the following rewrite is done

http://SRV/APP/pipapo into http://SRV/APP/pipapo/

What has to be done so the rewrite also works for the root?

By default, the built in add trailing slash does not apply to directories or filenames... If you want it to apply to directories (like in the above example http(s)://srv/app), you have to modify the rule and delete the Condition that has "Type: Is Not a Directory". Don't forget to apply...

Happy URL Rewriting! :)

The following rule seems to work for me:

<!--Add trailing slash to root non-file url-->
<rule name="Add trailing slash" stopProcessing="true">
    <match url="(.*)" />
    <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
        <!--Match uri's missing trailing slash-->
        <add input="{PATH_INFO}" pattern="(.*[^/])$" />
        <!--Ignore any uri containing a period (probably a better way to do this but IsFile was not behaving as expected for me)-->
        <add input="{PATH_INFO}" pattern="(.*?)\.(.*?)" negate="true"/>
    </conditions>
    <action type="Redirect" redirectType="Permanent" url="{PATH_INFO}/" />
</rule>
