Url rewrite http to https in iisnode - url-rewrite-module

Using standard iis url rewrite module technique to redirect http to https does not work with iisnode.
I am having the following rule configuration to redirect http to https:
<rule name="HTTP to Prod HTTPS redirect" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="off" ignoreCase="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" redirectType="Found" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}/{R:1}" />
</rule>
The problem is that requesting
http://domain.net is redirected to the https://domain.net/server.js
Any ideas how to get rid of the "server.js" part of the url?

Ok, the solution is simple. I just need to put HTTP -> HTTPS url rewrite rule at the top. Final configuration can then look like this:
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="HTTP to Prod HTTPS redirect" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="off" ignoreCase="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" redirectType="Found" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}/{R:1}" />
</rule>
<!-- Don't interfere with requests for logs -->
<rule name="LogFile" patternSyntax="ECMAScript" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^[a-zA-Z0-9_\-]+\.js\.logs\/\d+\.txt$" />
</rule>
<!-- Don't interfere with requests for node-inspector debugging -->
<rule name="NodeInspector" patternSyntax="ECMAScript" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^server.js\/debug[\/]?" />
</rule>
<!-- First we consider whether the incoming URL matches a physical file in the /public folder -->
<rule name="StaticContent">
<action type="Rewrite" url="public{REQUEST_URI}" />
</rule>
<!-- All other URLs are mapped to the Node.js application entry point -->
<rule name="DynamicContent">
<conditions>
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="True" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="server.js" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>

iis rewrite url for https://example.com/default.aspx/default.aspx to https://example.com

I have tried all kinds of rewrite URL's and can't get IIS to send the URL of https://example.com/default.aspx/default.aspx to https://example.com/default.aspx
Google has indexed the site with the wrong URL when Bing got it right (go figure). Any help would be much appreciated. All my traffic is going to the wrong url (https://example.com/default.aspx/default.aspx).
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Redirect www.xxx.com to xxx.com" patternSyntax="ECMAScript" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".*" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^https://example.com/default.aspx/default.aspx" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="default.aspx" />
</rule>
<rule name="redirect two character to default" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions>
<add input="{URL}" pattern="^/[a-z]{2}(/)?$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="default.aspx" appendQueryString="false" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
There is some issue in your rule. {HTTP_HOST} only matches the hostname which is www.example.com it will not match the whole URL.
You could try below rule:
<rule name="Redirect www.xxx.com to xxx.com" enabled="true" patternSyntax="ECMAScript" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".*" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="www.example.com" />
<add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="on" />
<add input="{REQUEST_URI}" pattern="default/default|default.aspx/default.aspx" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="default.aspx" />
</rule>

IIS multiple rewrite rules for Virtual directory

iis url redirect http to non www https
but one condtion not working
https://domain/prog to https://www.domain/prog
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="SecureRedirect" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^(.*)$" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="off" />
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^(www\.)?(.*)$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://www.{C:2}/prog" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
</rules>
i have applied url rewrite on prog Virtual directory and its worked
<rewrite>
<rules>
<clear />
<rule name="Redirect non-www OR non-https to https://www">
<match url=".*" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny">
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^domain.com$" />

</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://www.domain.com/prog/{R:0}" redirectType="Permanent"/>
</rule>
</rules>

IIS 7 URL rewrite rules seem to be working one time only

I am trying to force a website running under IIS to always run in https mode and redirect to it's full root name which includes www in order for the SSL certificate to work properly.
Below is the web.config entry:
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<clear />
<rule name="Redirect to https" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="off" ignoreCase="true" />
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^somewebsite.com$" ignoreCase="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" redirectType="Permanent" url="https://www.{HTTP_HOST}{REQUEST_URI}" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
This works on first time requests, for instance someone requests: somewebsite.com in the browser URI for the very first time, they will be automatically redirected to https://www.somewebsite.com. However, once the site is loaded and if user manually removes the www or https in the browser URI, the server does not perform subsequent redirects. Is that by design and is it possible for the rule to always execute?
This is what I use on all our live SSL sites. I use 2 rules and never had any problem with these:
<rule name="Redirect domain.com to www" patternSyntax="Wildcard" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="*" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="domain.com" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://www.domain.com/{R:0}" />
</rule>
<rule name="HTTP to HTTPS" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="^OFF$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}/{R:1}" />
</rule>

IIS URL rewriting fails

I'm trying to implement simple IIS URL rewrite. I want to rewrite URL: about.test.local to text.local/about.html .
In configuration below I have added rules, but it doesn't seem to work. What is the problem?
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Rewrite1" patternSyntax="ExactMatch" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="about.test.local" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="http://test.local/about.html" />
</rule>
<rule name="Rewrite2" patternSyntax="ExactMatch" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="http://about.test.local/" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="http://test.local/about.html" logRewrittenUrl="true" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
As #beavel mentioned, I have added following rules, but URL still doesn't get rewritten:
<rule name="Rewrite2a" patternSyntax="ExactMatch" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.+)" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="about.test.local" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="http://test.local/about.html" />
</rule>
<rule name="Rewrite2b" patternSyntax="ExactMatch" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.+)" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="http://about.test.local/" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="http://test.local/about.html" />
</rule>
The problem is that the match url doesn't contain the host as explained here. If you have multiple hostnames bound to one IIS site and only want to rewrite the one hostname you would do something like:
<rule name="Rewrite1" patternSyntax="ExactMatch" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.+)" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="about.test.local" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="http://test.local/about.html" />
</rule>

web.config redirect non-www to www

I need to redirect non-www URLs to www URL for both HTTP and HTTPS URLs. I tried following rules in web.config.
<rule name="Redirect to WWW" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".*" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^example.com$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="http://www.example.com/{R:0}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
<rule name="Redirect to WWW https" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".*" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="^example.com$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://www.example.com/{R:0}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
It works perfectly for non-ssl URL but in case of SSL it redirect from https://example.com to http://www.example.com.
For a safer rule that works for both Match Any and Match All situations, you can use the Rewrite Map solution. It’s a perfectly good solution with the only drawback being the ever so slight extra effort to set it up since you need to create a rewrite map before you create the rule. In other words, if you choose to use this as your sole method of handling the protocol, you’ll be safe.
You can create a Rewrite Map called MapProtocol, you can use {MapProtocol:{HTTPS}} for the protocol within any rule action.
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Redirect to www" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions trackAllCaptures="false">
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^example.com$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect"
url="{MapProtocol:{HTTPS}}://www.example.com/{R:1}" />
</rule>
</rules>
<rewriteMaps>
<rewriteMap name="MapProtocol">
<add key="on" value="https" />
<add key="off" value="http" />
</rewriteMap>
</rewriteMaps>
</rewrite>
Reference
Other answers here are unnecessary long, here's the rule i use (just copy and paste) :
<rule name="ensurewww" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".*" />
<conditions>
<add input="{CACHE_URL}" pattern="^(.+)://(?!www)(.*)" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="{C:1}://www.{C:2}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
This will redirect to the www version while preserving the HTTP and HTTPS protocol
Hope this helps.
Since 2018, consider to use everytime https (SSL) !
So I use redirect to www and to https together.
<rule name="Redirect to www" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions trackAllCaptures="false">
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^example.com$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://www.example.com/{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
<rule name="HTTP/S to HTTPS Redirect" enabled="true" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny">
<add input="{SERVER_PORT_SECURE}" pattern="^0$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}{REQUEST_URI}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>

I know this is an old post but it's not fully answered. I ended up extending Satpals answer
First rule catches http + www and second one catches non-www
For some reason i could not use MapProtocol in the fist Rule but it works with https written directly into the url.
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Special case www & HTTPS off" enabled="true" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll" trackAllCaptures="false">
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^www\.example\.com$" />
<add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="off" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://www.example.com/{R:1}" redirectType="SeeOther" />
</rule>
<rule name="Redirect to www & HTTPS" enabled="true" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions trackAllCaptures="false">
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^example\.com$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="{MapProtocol:{HTTPS}}://www.example.com/{R:1}" redirectType="SeeOther" />
</rule>
</rules>
<rewriteMaps>
<rewriteMap name="MapProtocol">
<add key="on" value="https" />
<add key="off" value="http" />
</rewriteMap>
</rewriteMaps>
</rewrite>
This worked fine for me:-
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Redirect to WWW" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".*" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^myExample.in$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://www.myExample.in/{R:0}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
This post is basically for those who need to redirect non-www to www URL in windows hosting.
In web.config file as below code:
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name=”Redirect example.com to www.example.com HTTP” patternSyntax=”ECMAScript” stopProcessing=”true”>
<match url=”.*” />
<conditions>
<add input=”{HTTP_HOST}” pattern=”^example.com$” />
<add input=”{HTTPS}” pattern=”off” />
</conditions>
<action type=”Redirect” url=”http://www.example.com/{R:0}” redirectType=”Permanent” appendQueryString=”true”/>
</rule>
<rule name=”Redirect example.com to www.example.com HTTPS” patternSyntax=”ECMAScript” stopProcessing=”true”>
<match url=”.*” />
<conditions>
<add input=”{HTTP_HOST}” pattern=”^example.com$” />
<add input=”{HTTPS}” pattern=”on” />
</conditions>
<action type=”Redirect” url=”https://www.example.com/{R:0}” redirectType=”Permanent” appendQueryString=”true”/>
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
In the above code please note there are two rules used one for HTTP and another for HTTPS. To avoid clashing of HTTP and HTTPS in the same rule, here used two separate patterns.
I hope it works for you guys…!!
