Redirect HTTP URLs to HTTPS in Windows Hosting

After configuring SSL for a website, we need to make sure all existing HTTP URLs are automatically redirected to the HTTPS. For this we need to add a redirect rule in our web.config file.

Open your web.config file and add following code snippet under system.webServer tag (copy it before the closing system.webServer tag)

<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="Permanent" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}/{R:1}" />
        </rule>   
    </rules>
</rewrite>

Save web.config file and upload it to the server tp replace existing one.
