web.config generation in Asp.Net Core 2

I know that Core 2 is moving away from the web.config and towards Json configuration. However, I have come across an issue where by my IIS 7 server has WebDav installed which is blocking HTTP PUT requests to my webapi.

The following link has provided a working solution by removing WebDav;

Remove WebDav Web.Config for Core 1

The issue I am having is that I need to add this to the generated web.config on the server with every publish as it is being over written each time.

Is it possible for me to add a web.config to my Asp.Net Core 2 webapi? or tell it to add this to the one it is generating?

In Asp.Net Core 2.1 I added web.config file into the root of project then remove WebDAV from module and handler

<system.webServer>
        <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="false" xdt:Transform="Insert" >
            <remove name="WebDAVModule" />
        </modules>
        <handlers>
            <remove name="WebDAV"/>
         </handlers>
</system.webServer>

The web.config file is generated when you are publishing the project. It works for me.

You can just add 'copy always' property to any file to auto add it to the build folder.

enter image description here

also you can use config file transformations. I believe they should work with .Net Core. In your case you want to create web.release.config:

Right-click the Web.config file and then click Add Config Transforms. 

<configuration xmlns:xdt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform">
  <system.web>
    <compilation xdt:Transform="RemoveAttributes(debug)" />
  </system.web>
  <system.webServer>
    <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="false" xdt:Transform="Insert" >
      <remove name="WebDAVModule" />
    </modules>
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>

Good example
