web.config missing when creating ASP.NET Core Web App in VS 2017 RC?

Question

I've noted that when creating a new ASP.NET Core Web App in Visual Studio 2017 RC, a web.config file is not created. My understanding was that this file contains important code to facilitate IIS integration, something that I am interested in, as I would like to run this application on IIS.

Is this a bug, or have I missed a step in the process?

In Visual Studio 2017, right click in Project in Solution Explorer -> Add -> New Item -> Search for "config" -> Add Web Configuration File. This will add web.config in your project with default stuff.
