Redirect .aspx url to one without it

Question

I would like to get my URL redirect from a legacy URL with .aspx to one without it using IIS.

Example:

1. https://www.example.com/category.aspx to https://www.example.com/category
2. https://www.example.com/category.aspx?type=test to https://www.example.com/category?type=test

Can we achieve the redirect of the above type using IIS? Please help me with this.

Thanks in advance.

You can do this in IIS with URL Rewrite module. You can configure it in IIS manager. Some examples are in the documentation. This redirecting rule should work.

<rewrite>
    <rules>
        <rule name="Redirect from aspx" stopProcessing="true">
            <match url="^(.+?).aspx" />
            <action type="Redirect" url="{R:1}" appendQueryString="true" />
        </rule>
    </rules>
</rewrite>
