SXA/Sitecore/.Net Rewrite Rules (Lower case, remove space for the URL)

.Net: Create the "RewriteRules.config" file and refer the file in "Web.config"

SXA/Sitecore: Create the "RewriteRules.config" file and refer the file in "Web.config" from CD environment.

Note: This will work as IIS rewrite module only
