1.Redirect HTTPS to HTTP
- Domain name = https://mydomain.com/
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
<rule name="Redirect to http" stopProcessing="true"> <match url="(.*)" /> <conditions> <add input="{R:1}" pattern="^onepage/(.*)$" negate="true" /> <add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="^ON$" /> </conditions> <action type="Redirect" url="http://{HTTP_HOST}/{R:0}" redirectType="Permanent" /> </rule> |
* This will redirect https to http
Example:
- https://mydomain.com/ >>> http://mydomain.com/
- https://mydomain.com/somepage/ >>> http://mydomain.com/
2.Redirect HTTP to HTTPS
- Domain name = http://mydomain.com/
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
<rule name="Redirect to https" 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="false" /> </rule> |
* This will redirect http to https
Example:
- http://mydomain.com/ >>> https://mydomain.com/
- http://mydomain.com/somepage/ >>> https://mydomain.com/
3.Redirect old domain to new domain
- Old domain = http://olddomain.com/
- New domain = http://newdomain.com/
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
<rule name="Standard redirection" stopProcessing="true"> <match url=".*" /> <conditions> <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^olddomain.com$" /> </conditions> <action type="Redirect" url="http://newdomain.com/{R:0}" redirectType="Permanent" /> </rule> |
* This will redirect your old domain name to your new domain name when user type the old domain name in browser.
Example:
- http://olddomain.com/ >>> http://newdomain.com/
- http://olddomain.com /somepage/ >>> http://newdomain.com/

|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
<rule name="Advanced redirection"> <match url="(.*)" /> <conditions> <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="www\.olddomain\.com$" negate="true" /> </conditions> <action type="Redirect" url="https://newdomain.com/{R:1}" /> </rule> |
* This will redirect your old domain name to your new domain name when user type the old domain name in browser and it will keep the rest of URL from the old domain name and post it to the new redirected domain name.
Example:
- http://olddomain.com/ >>> https://newdomain.com/
- http://olddomain.com /somepage/ >>> https://newdomain.com/somepage/
5.Redirect specific page to another specific page
- Page one = http://mydomain.com/pageone
- Page two = http://mydomain.com/pagetwo
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
<rule name="Redirect specific page to another specific page" stopProcessing="true"> <match url="(.*)" /> <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny" trackAllCaptures="false"> <add input="{HTTP_HOST}{REQUEST_URI}" pattern="mydomain.com/pageone" /> <add input="{HTTP_HOST}{REQUEST_URI}" pattern="www.mydomain.com/pageone" /> </conditions> <action type="Redirect" url="http://mydomain.com/pagetwo" redirectType="Permanent"/> </rule> |
* This will redirect [pageone] to [pagetwo] when user try to access page one
Example:
- http://mydomain.com/pageone >>> http://mydomain.com/pagetwo
- http://www.mydomain.com/pageone >>> http://mydomain.com/pagetwo
6.Redirect non WWW to WWW
- Domain name = http://mydomain.com/
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
<rule name="Redirect non WWW to WWWW" 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 force add WWW to your domain name when user type it like this: http://mydomain.com/
Example:
- http://mydomain.com/ >>> http://www.mydomain.com/
- http://www.mydomain.com/ >>> http://www.mydomain.com/
8.Force remove WWW from domain name
- Domain name = http://www.mydomain.com/
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
<rule name="Force remove WWW from domain name" 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> |
