How to remove the “.svc” extension in RESTful WCF service?

Question

In my knowledge, the RESTful WCF still has \".svc\" in its URL.

For example, if the service interface is like

[OperationContract]
[WebGet(UriTemplate

Add this to your global.asax

private void Application_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Context.RewritePath(System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(
               Request.Path, "/rest/(.*)/", "/$1.svc/"));
}

This will replace /rest/Service1/arg1/arg2 by /Service1.svc/arg1/arg2
