Description

We missed implementing the URL parameter in IIS Url Rewrite rules. The URL parameter will just return the original request url. Ex:

<rule name="LowerCaseRule1" enabled="true" stopProcessing="true">
    <match url="[A-Z]" ignoreCase="false" />
    <action type="Redirect" url="{ToLower:{URL}}" />
</rule>

the ToLower:{URL} would return the lower cased request url.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate the IIS Url Rewrite middleware in the ASP.NET Core source code. Find where the ToLower function is implemented and add a similar implementation for the URL parameter that returns the original request URL.
