translate .htaccess line to web.config for IIS

The file .htaccess is an Apache feature. IIS uses either global in the applicationHost.config file or local in the web.config file. There is no direct translation of rules, since the concepts of both products are very dissimilar.

For IIS you need to install URL Rewrite, and then you may create your rules.
