IIS Url Rewrite - Subdomain to folder issue results 404

I want anySubdomain.mydomain.com to behave as mydomain.com/anySubdomain. My configs so far:

  1. I entered a wildcard CNAME record (*.mydomain.com CNAME mydomain.com) in DNS records of mydomain.com. I am pretty sure this step is ok.

  2. I created an inbound rule in URL Rewrite module of web site in IIS as: 

    <rewrite>    
<rules>    
    <rule name="Subdomain to Folder" stopProcessing="true">    
        <match url="(.*)" />    
        <conditions>    
            <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="[http://]*(.*).mydomain.com" />    
        </conditions>    
        <action type="Rewrite" url="{C:1}/{R:1}" logRewrittenUrl="false" />    
    </rule>    
</rules>

  3. I created a folder under root folder as anySubdomain and put an index.html into it. I have checked that mydomain.com/anySubdomain gets the page that I want.

I receive a 404 page when I call anySubdomain.mydomain.com. I know this is a common issue but I could not solve this problem, where is my mistake? Thanks.

Finally got the answer, let me share it. The missing step was to add following IIS binding to catch all "has not yet assigned hostnames requests":

IP Address: IP of web server    
Port: 80    
Host: (Leave Blank)
