I'm trying to rewrite urls from the form:
https://example.com/about
to the form
http://example.com/about
using IIS7 URL rewriting:
<!-- http:// to https:// rule -->
<rule name="ForceHttpsBilling" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)billing/(.*)" ignoreCase="true" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="off" ignoreCase="false" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" redirectType="Found" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}{REQUEST_URI}" />
</rule>
<!-- https:// to http:// rule -->
<rule name="ForceNonHttps" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)billing/(.*)" ignoreCase="true" negate="true" />
<conditions>
<add input="{SERVER_PORT}" pattern="^443$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" redirectType="Found" url="http://{HTTP_HOST}{REQUEST_URI}" />
</rule>
I'm at a loss; I've been browsing the web for examples and trying every syntax I can think of. The rewrite rules I specify simply don't appear to work at all for any https requests, as if all the https://
requests are flat out invisible to the rewrite engine.
rules work fine; see answer below.
