Support URL rewriting with Application Gateway
PathBasedRouting is nice, but not super great without the ability to rewrite paths. I am trying to front a Service Fabric cluster, where multiple HTTP services live on http://+:80, at different path prefixes. Would be nice to use Application Gateway to direct https://api.company.com to http://cluster/api, and https://www.company.com to http://cluster/www

URL rewrite for Application Gateway v2 is currently in public preview! With this, you can now rewrite URL path and query string parameters based on a condition. The condition will be on request or response parameters.
Also, you get the ability to choose the routing to a backend pool based on the original URL or the rewritten URL.
We’d love for you to try it out and let us know your valuable feedback. Learn more here – https://aka.ms/urlrewritepreview and https://aka.ms/urlrewriteconfiguration

The fact that the capability has been added is great, but super disappointing that it was only added to a completely separate and new version of App Gateway that is tremendously more expensive.

Got an email from Microsoft to test this feature. It is released as a preview capability.

6+ months, no update!!!
The work to support this capability was started by Microsoft more than 6 months ago. Besides the initial update (back in June-2019), Microsoft team did not provide even a single update, till date!!! Is this quasi-normal?
Wish Microsoft would release this soon, or at the very least provide an update to user community about its progress like when it expects to release this capability etc.,

MS, will the enhancement support rewriting the uri e.g. rewrite original request https://www.mysite.com/main.html to https://www.mysite.com/mywebsvc/main.html based on a specific request header ?

Override Backend Path helps a bit in the Http Settings. But we need better rewrite options soon :)
