Laravel on IIS 7.5

A client has a server with Windows Server 2008 installed, running IIS 7.5 and ISAPI 3 (TASK hosting).

I needed to put a Laravel project running his server, and the problem was the rewrite needed for the framework. How I would do the htaccess from Laravel work on IIS?

Before continuing the explanation, read the conceptual part I did over IIS on this post:

CakePHP on IIS 7.5

The configuration I did on web.config is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <defaultDocument>
            <files>
                <clear />
                <add value="index.php" />
                <add value="default.aspx" />
                <add value="Default.htm" />
                <add value="Default.asp" />
                <add value="index.htm" />
                <add value="index.html" />
            </files>
        </defaultDocument>
        <handlers accessPolicy="Read, Execute, Script">
            <add name="PHP-FastCGI" path="*.php" verb="GET,HEAD,POST,PUT,DELETE" modules="FastCgiModule" scriptProcessor="C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\v5.4\php-cgi.exe" resourceType="Either" requireAccess="Script" />
        </handlers>
        <rewrite>
            <rules>
                <rule name="Imported Rule 1">
                    <match url="^(.*)$" ignoreCase="false" />
                    <action type="Rewrite" url="/public/{R:1}" />
                </rule>
                <rule name="Imported Rule 2" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="^(.*)$" />
                    <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
                    </conditions>
                    <action type="Rewrite" url="public/index.php/{R:1}" />
                </rule>
            </rules>
        </rewrite>
        <httpRedirect enabled="false" destination="" exactDestination="true" httpResponseStatus="Permanent" />
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<system.webServer>

<files>

</files>

</defaultDocument>

</handlers>

<rules>

</rule>

</conditions>

</rule>

</rules>

</rewrite>

</system.webServer>

</configuration>

BONUS

The Handlers part, that quotes GET, POST, PUT and DELETE methods, is to enable them on the project, allowing to use them on the code.
