IIS rewrite to remove port number

[1DMF]

Hi,

I have created a rewrite to remove a port number from the URL, which when testing the pattern matching seems to match, but doesn't appear to work in reality.

<rule name="Rewrite port 4001" patternSyntax="Wildcard">
    <match url="*" />
    <conditions>
        <add input="{URL}" pattern="*:4001*" />
    </conditions>
    <action type="Rewrite" url="{C:1}{C:2}" />
</rule>

Advice is appreciated.

In the absence of a solution, I have simply closed the port on the firewall and fielded any support calls it generated.
