I am not able to get IIS Url Rewrite to work on IIS 7.5

I installed the latest IIS URL Rewrite Module from http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite

Now the following rule is working 

<rule name="TestRewrite" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="abc\/(.*)" />
                    <action type="Rewrite" url="test/{R:1}" logRewrittenUrl="true" />
                </rule>

However this rule is not 

<rule name="TestRewrite" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="abc\/(.*)" />
                    <action type="Rewrite" url="http://localhost:8082/{R:1}" logRewrittenUrl="true" />
                </rule>

Trace result

What URL are you testing this rule with? - Josh
localhost/abc/index.html - fitnet
I got the solution for this...ARR was not configured properly - fitnet

You may want to double check your regex for what you were expecting. That expression won't match localhost because abc is not at the beginning. This would match your URL:

abc\/(.*)

Notice we are looking for abc anywhere and the escaping the slash and we can end with anything.
