How to return response from the static file in ASP.NET?

I am looking for a solution in which I need to make all endpoint (which return XML and Json) to return empty response and a status code.

the XML/JSON response is decided on the accept header in the request. For example someone call my api I can simply return the response from the file.

How to do this in web.config. I am looking for writing a code in rewrite/rule which check the accept header and if this is xml return the empty xml file or if it's json simple return the json file.

I want to make my rule to match the particular url constraint. for example it's all started with testing. this will be something like "^testing" (case insensitive).

so anything match with ^testing and xml return static xml, and with json return static json response.

I also want to set status code in web.config so I can track that my app is maintenance mode.

Any idea how to do this in web.config.

You can write an HttpModule that will somehow check that your website is in maintenance mode. in this case, the module will write a required HTML/Json content directly into HttpResponse and end the Response.

Alternatively, configure IIS to achieve this result.
