IIS - Redirect http requests from url to another url in the same folder

Question

I have an asp page as part of of web application hosted on IIS8. I would like to set up http redirection from this page to another aspx page within the same site.Isn't there a straightforward setting I can use in IIS? I've looked at http redirect and url rewrite with little luck.

Requests to

http://localhost/example.asp

needs to be redirected to

http://localhost/example.aspx

I figured it out. I was missing the URL Rewrite module.It can be downloaded here.Once you download, install the url rewrite module and it will look like this.Open the feature and add the rule.

Once you add a new rule it will show up in the web.config file under system.webserver tags or you can add it to the web.config file directly.

<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
    <rules>
        <rule name="asp_to_aspx" stopProcessing="true">
            <match url="^example.asp$" />
            <action type="Redirect" url="http://localhost/example.aspx" />
        </rule>
    </rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
