I have 2 custom domains set up on Azure Websites:
mydomain.lt and www.mydomain.lt
DNS registrar's settings:
Subdomain and redirect:
awverif -> CNAME: awverify.mydomain.azurewebsites.net
www -> CNAME: mydomain.azurewebsites.net
Other redirects:
IP: 137.x.x.x (IP address provided by Azure) and MX: 79.x.x.x
I can reach my website via mydomain.lt and www.mydomain.lt
What I am trying to do now is to set my Canonical URL in a way, that users coming from
www.mydomain.lt would be automatically redirected to mydomain.lt and all relative URL paths returned in a lower case.
I added settings bellow to system.WebServer on Web.config:
<rewrite>
<rules>
<!-- SEO | Section 1 | Whitelist -->
<rule name="Whitelist - Resources" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^(?:css/|scripts/|bundles/|images/|install/|config/|umbraco/|umbraco_client/|base/|webresource\.axd|scriptresource\.axd|__browserLink|[^/]*/arterySignalR/.*)" />

<action type="None" />
</rule>

</rule>

<add input="{HTTP_METHOD}" pattern="GET" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="{R:2}" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
The resulting behaviour is a redirect loop. Any ideas how to fix this problem?
It seems the problem is with Azure Websites. The link below gives a workaround how to fix the problem temporarily.

I've rewritten my rules and everything works just fine:
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Whitelist - Resources" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^(?:css/|scripts/|bundles/|content/|images/|install/|config/|umbraco/|umbraco_client/|base/|webresource\.axd|scriptresource\.axd|__browserLink|[^/]*/arterySignalR/.*)" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll" trackAllCaptures="false" />
<action type="None" />
</rule>
<rule name="Convert to lower case" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".*[A-Z].*" ignoreCase="false" />
<action type="Redirect" url="{ToLower:{R:0}}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
<rule name="Canonical Host Name" patternSyntax="Wildcard" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="*" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
<add input="{REMOTE_PORT}" pattern="*" />
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="mydomain.lt" negate="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="http://mydomain.lt/{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
Start by simplifying your rewrite rules to narrow down the problem:
Instead of using rewrite for www, just update the CNAME for www.domain.com to point to domain.com
remove section 3 till you get section 2 working
then try updating section 2 to:
<!-- SEO | Section 2 | Rewrites (chaining) -->
<rule name="SEO - Lower case" stopProcessing="false">
<match url="(.*)" ignoreCase="false" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll" trackAllCaptures="false">
<add input="{HTTP_METHOD}" pattern="GET" />
<add input="{R:1}" pattern="[A-Z]" ignoreCase="false" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="{ToLower:{R:1}}" RedirectType="Permanent"/>
</rule>

I have two domains. Both read from the same source. That is, the path of their files on the server is the same with same web.config file. I want both of them to be redirect to the HTTPS path without WWW, regardless of the conditions that are called in the URL. Similar to below
HTTP to HTTPS
WWW to non-WWW
for example.com and example.co
I tried to use the below code:
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Redirect to HTTPS without www" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
<add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="^OFF$" />
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^(www\.)?(.*)$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://{C:2}/{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
<rule name="Special case for HTTPS with www" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
<add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="^ON$" />
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^(www\.)(.*)$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://{C:2}/{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
But this code cannot be considered for both domains com and co. Because it redirects only to the com domain.
Try splitting the two different domain names into two rules, and add the full hostname to your rules, which will trigger your rule for a specific domain only:
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Redirect example.com to HTTPS without www" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
<add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="^OFF$" />
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^(www\.)?example.com$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://example.com/{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
<rule name="Redirect example.co to HTTPS without www" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
<add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="^OFF$" />
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^(www\.)?example.co$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://example.co/{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
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}(/)?$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="default.aspx" appendQueryString="false" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
There is some issue in your rule. {HTTP_HOST} only matches the hostname which is www.example.com it will not match the whole URL.
You could try below rule:
<rule name="Redirect www.xxx.com to xxx.com" enabled="true" patternSyntax="ECMAScript" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".*" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="www.example.com" />
<add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="on" />
<add input="{REQUEST_URI}" pattern="default/default|default.aspx/default.aspx" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="default.aspx" />
</rule>
I need to redirect non-www URLs to www URL for both HTTP and HTTPS URLs. I tried following rules in web.config.
<rule name="Redirect to WWW" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".*" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^example.com$" />
</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>

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…!!
Follow the Step Below
Login to your website's cPanel
Click on Hosting Setting
Select your preferred domain as www.example.com
I have the following situation with url rewrite rules which are getting conflicted with each other:
Rule 1: I need to redirect my domain to https
Rule 2: I need to redirect www.mydomain.com --> https://mydomain.com
Rule 3: I need both www.mydomain.com and mydomain.com to redirect to https://mydomain.com/myfolder, but if I have mydomain.com/mysecondfolder should only redirct to https://mydomain.com/mysecondfolder
what I was able to achieve is everything but redirecting www.mydomain.com to https://mydomain.com (just because it is being conflicted with another rules, if alone it is working).
My rules are:
<rule name="HTTP to HTTPS redirect" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="off" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}/{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
<rule name="redirect to myfolder" enabled="true">
<match url="^$" />
<conditions>
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="/myfolder" />
</rule>
I was able to solve this using the below rules:
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Canonical Host Name" enabled="true" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" negate="true" pattern="^myapp\.com$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="http://myapp.com/{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
<rule name="HTTP to HTTPS redirect" enabled="true" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="off" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}/{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
<rule name="redirect to items" enabled="false">
<match url="^$" />
<conditions>
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="/items" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
Sorry for the vague title, the problem is too complex to summarize in a short phrase...
I'm trying to set up the following redirection rules:
blog.mydomain.net/en/something: redirected to www.mydomain.com/something
blog.mydomain.net/fr/something: redirected to www.mydomain.fr/something
blog.mydomain.net/*: redirected to www.mydomain.com
Rule 3 is working, but rules 1 and 2 seem to be skipped so rule 3 is always applied. Here are my web.config rules:
<!-- Canonicalize mydomain.com to www.mydomain.com -->
<rule name="CanonicalHostNameRule_en" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll" trackAllCaptures="false">
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^mydomain\.com$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="http://www.mydomain.com/{R:1}" />
</rule>
<!-- Canonicalize mydomain.fr to www.mydomain.fr -->
<rule name="CanonicalHostNameRule_fr" enabled="true" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll" trackAllCaptures="false">
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^mydomain\.fr$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="http://www.mydomain.fr/{R:1}" />
</rule>
<!-- Redirect blog.mydomain.net/en/something to www.mydomain.com/something -->
<rule name="RedirectBlog_en" enabled="true" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^/en(/.*)?$" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll" trackAllCaptures="false">
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^blog\.mydomain\.net$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="http://www.mydomain.com/{R:1}" />
</rule>
<!-- Redirect blog.mydomain.net/fr/something to www.mydomain.fr/something -->
<rule name="RedirectBlog_fr" enabled="true" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^/fr(/.*)?$" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll" trackAllCaptures="false">
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^blog\.mydomain\.net$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="http://www.mydomain.fr/{R:1}" />
</rule>
<!-- Redirect blog.mydomain.net/* to www.mydomain.com -->
<rule name="RedirectBlog_other" enabled="true" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll" trackAllCaptures="false">
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^blog\.mydomain\.net$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="http://www.mydomain.com/" />
</rule>
<!-- Wordpress-specific rules -->
...
I don't understand why rules RedirectBlog_en and RedirectBlog_fr are skipped; I tested the regular expressions and they work fine.
Can anyone spot the problem?
EDIT: if I disable the 3rd rule (RedirectBlog_other), then rules 1 and 2 work fine... how is it possible, since rules 1 and 2 are executed before rule 3?
OK, I got it!
First, things weren't happening as I thought; rules 1 and 2 were not working when I disabled rule 3: I was still redirected to my actual domain, but this was done by Wordpress, not by my rules.
Second, my pattern for matching the URL was wrong: the leading '/' is not included in the input, so my rules weren't matching at all.
