Have a ASP.NET solution and want to achieve 2 things: -
Redirect www.mydomain.com to mydomain.com
Have friendly URLs
So ... here is what I have added the system.webserver section of the webconfig...
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Remove WWW prefix" >
<match url="(.*)" ignoreCase="true" />
<conditions trackAllCaptures="false">
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^www\.mydomain\.com" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="{MapProtocol:{HTTPS}}://mydomain.com/{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
<rule name="homepage" stopProcessing="true" >
<match url="^/wwwzone/homepage.aspx$"/>
<action type="Redirect" url="/"/>
</rule>
<rule name="homepageReal" stopProcessing="true" >
<match url="^/$"/>
<action type="Rewrite" url="/somepath/homepage.aspx"/>
</rule>
</rules>
<rewriteMaps>
<rewriteMap name="MapProtocol">
<add key="on" value="https"/>
<add key="off" value="http"/>
</rewriteMap>
</rewriteMaps>
</rewrite>
This fails. The logic behind this is: -
First rule takes care of redirecting www.mydomain.com to mydomain.com. This works. and with the rewriteMap it also handles HTTP/HTTPS correctly.
The second rule is supposed to do a browser redirect if they request an unfriendly (real) URL.
The last one is designed to convert the friendly URL back to the real URL, however this is a rewrite not a redirect.
Any thoughts much appreciated.
It turns our was poor syntax in my regular expressions.
So, matching the real URL of the home page should have been
<match url="^$"/>
not
<match url="^/$"/>
And the subsequent rule to rewrite to the real URL should change in the same way.
So, for completeness, this one works...
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Remove WWW prefix" >
<match url="(.*)" ignoreCase="true" />
<conditions trackAllCaptures="false">
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^www\.mydomain\.com" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="{MapProtocol:{HTTPS}}://mydomain.com/{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
<rule name="homepage" stopProcessing="true" >
<match url="^wwwzone/homepage.aspx"/>
<action type="Redirect" url="/"/>
</rule>
<rule name="homepageReal" stopProcessing="true" >
<match url="^$"/>
<action type="Rewrite" url="/somepath/homepage.aspx"/>
</rule>
</rules>
<rewriteMaps>
<rewriteMap name="MapProtocol">
<add key="on" value="https"/>
<add key="off" value="http"/>
</rewriteMap>
</rewriteMaps>
</rewrite>

As a user trying to access https://www.qa1.samplewebsite.org
I want to be redirected to https://qa1.samplewebsite.org
The site without www works just fine but when www is appended, it says 'Can't reach the page'
Used url rewrite 2 rules but didn't work
The web.config section is as follows:
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Remove WWW" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^(.*)$" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^(www\.)(.*)$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://{C:1}/{R:0}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
If you want to redirect www to non www, you can refer to this rule:
<rule name="Remove WWW" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^(.*)$" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^(www\.)(.*)$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://{C:2}/{R:0}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
I had a page http://domain1.com/blog.aspx.
This page I have deleted and created a website with a new domain just for this page.
like below http://domain2.com/blog.aspx
Then I have added a rule in domain1.com web.config like below
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Redirect blog" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".*" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^domain1.com/blog.aspx$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="http://domain2.com/blog.aspx" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
But I get 404 error while visiting http://domain1.com/blogpage.aspx
How can I fix this issue?
A few issues...
{HTTP_HOST} = The host name which is domain1.com, so it will never match your pattern
Also you can do this pattern="^domain1.com/blog.aspx$" the . need to be escaped.
Now you have to match also on the request_uri to capture the page. Below should work. Providing you are re-directing domain1.com/blogpage.aspx to domain2.com/blog.aspx
<rule name="Redirect blog" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".*" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll" >
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^domain1\.com$" />
<add input="{REQUEST_URI}" pattern="blogpage\.aspx$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="http://domain2.com/blog.aspx" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
</rules>
I need to have both https and non-www rewrites, while also NOT HARDCODING the domain, since we have numerous servers. This needs to be in the web.config, not in IIS.
I've read numerous articles:
http://www.iis.net/learn/extensions/url-rewrite-module/url-rewrite-module-configuration-reference
http://madskristensen.net/post/url-rewrite-and-the-www-subdomain
how to set asp.net web.config rewrite http to https and www to non-www
The https rewrite works, the non-www does not.
<rule name="Redirect to HTTPS" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="^OFF$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}/{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
<rule name="Remove WWW" patternSyntax="Wildcard" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="*" />
<conditions>
<!--<add input="{CACHE_URL}" pattern="*://www.*" />-->
<!--<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="*://www.*" />-->
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^.*www.*" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://{SERVER_NAME}/{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent" />
// i've also tried
// url="{C:2}/{R:1}"
// url="{C:1}/{C:2}"
</rule>
I tested the regex for ^.*www.* on a regex tester and it was matching www.testing.com but not testing.com - so I would assume the pattern would catch it.
I need the URLs to redirect from:
testing.com ---> https://testing.com
www.testing.com ---> https://testing.com
www.testing.com/xyz/ ---> https://testing.com/xyz/
Was my own issue - there was no DNS for the www, therefore the redirect wouldn't resolve on it's own.
Code used:
<rule name="Redirect to HTTPS" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)"/>
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="^OFF$"/>
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}/{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent"/>
</rule>
<rule name="Remove WWW" patternSyntax="Wildcard" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="*" />
<conditions>
<add input="{CACHE_URL}" pattern="*://www.*" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="{C:1}://{C:2}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
Add a "Canonical domain name" rule.
The soulution Rob found works fine as well. Mine seems to be a bit easier IMHO.
I realize this is a simple question, but I'm just not finding the answer. I've applied the below rule...
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="HTTP to 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>
</rules>
</rewrite>
The url I'm interested in has the pattern
http://[domain]/[directory]/[aspx page]
So http://example.com/funstuff/thefair.aspx
The result of the rewrite is http://[domain]/[an_aspx_page]
So the rewrite is removing the directory.
I assumed the {R:1} specifies a parameter that will be rewritten, and I tried https://{HTTP_HOST}/{R:1}/{R:2}, but this result in a 500 error.
I want to direct all traffic on this domain to https without changing the rest of the url entered by the user.
Here's what we use on one of our sites to auto-redirect all traffic to the https version. It also includes everything else in the url.
<rewrite>
<rules>
<clear />
<rule name="Redirect to https" enabled="true" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="off" ignoreCase="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}{REQUEST_URI}" redirectType="Permanent" appendQueryString="true" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
What is the optimal way to remove the www subdomain from a url using IIS URL Rewrite?
If you want it to work with any hostname (not hardcoding it into the rule), you'd want to do something like this:
<rule name="Remove www" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" ignoreCase="true" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^www\.(.+)$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="http://{C:1}/{R:0}" appendQueryString="true" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
in the redirect action, the {C:1} contains the second capturing group in the condition, whereas the {R:0} contains whatever was in the rule (the path). appendQueryString="true" will also append any querystring to the redirect (if present). Keep in mind though, that any url hashes, if present, will be lost in the process since those don't get passed to the server.
IIS does it automatically for you:
Select site > URL rewrite > new rule > Canonical Host Name :)
The following one should work :
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Remove WWW" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^(.*)$" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^(www\.)(.*)$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="http://www.example.com{PATH_INFO}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
To do a redirect that will work for both http and https the following can be used
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Lose the www" enabled="true" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" ignoreCase="true"/>
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^www\.(.*)$"/>
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" redirectType="Permanent" url="{SchemeMap:{HTTPS}}://{C:1}/{R:1}" appendQueryString="true" />
</rule>
</rules>
<rewriteMaps>
<rewriteMap name="SchemeMap">
<add key="on" value="https" />
<add key="off" value="http" />
</rewriteMap>
</rewriteMaps>
</rewrite>
