URL Rewrite to a subdomain - asp.net

Question

I am using the Rewrite tool for ASP.NET to redirect from http to hpps. I want to reroute to
https://services.net/ExitInterview/home/about
But currently it is routing to
https://services.net/home/about
Below is my redirect rule:
<rule name="HTTP to HTTPS redirect" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="off" ignoreCase="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}/{R:1}"
redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>`
Can I mix the "HTTP_HOST" text with hard-coded text in the rule string? Or is there another way?
I don't want to hard code the url because it changes with local, staging, and production.

Answer 1

<rule name="HTTP to HTTPS redirect" ="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="off" ignoreCase="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}/ExitInterview/{R:1}"
redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
Give this a try

This should do what you want in terms of redirecting to HTTPS from HTTP in a web.config file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<httpRuntime executionTimeout="180" />
</system.web>
<system.webServer>
<httpErrors errorMode="Detailed" existingResponse="PassThrough" />
<rewrite>
<rules>
<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>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
I use this exact snippet for a webserver that enforces HTTPS redirection, but that also seems to be pretty close to what you have. Are you sure you have configured the structure of the web.config file correctly? - I remember running into issues when I would leave out something.
