asp.net core web app how to route page requests for index.html and default.html to razor page index.-CodePudding

I'm converting a static web site to an asp.net core web app. I've noticed that the index.cshtml razor page is served as /index and /index.html gives a 404 not found, unless added as a static page.

Problem is external sites have indexed direct links to /index.html, /default.html and other pages.

Curious if asp.net core has a better way than adding the static pages with redirect. Like a reverse UseDefaultFiles()

Thanks.

Reasearch has turned up nothing. Lots of results to route default requests to static pages. But I want the reverse. Static page requests to razor pages.

If I don't misunderstand your question, You want to access razor page in the route of /pagename.cshtml and don't want to add static page. You can specify the route name as you want via Route Templates.

For Example, The default code in Privacy is:

@page 
@model PrivacyModel
@{
    ViewData["Title"] = "Privacy Policy";
}
<h1>@ViewData["Title"]</h1>

<p>Use this page to detail your site's privacy policy.</p>

If you want to access this page as /privacy.html instead of /privacy, You can specify route after @page.

Change code like:

@page "/privacy.html"
@model PrivacyModel
//.......

Now i can access privacy page in the route of /privacy.html.
