IIS7.5 URL Rewrite rule to perform a 301 redirect from thesite.hosting.com to thesite.co.uk

iisiis-7iis-7.5url-rewriting

I use IIS 7.5

I have a website wich has a valid host like:

A) mysite.co.uk

and a DEFAULT host (using for testing proposes provided by the hosting company):

B) mysite.hosting.com

Website is visible on both address, creating a DUPLICATE CONTENT issue for Search Engine.

I need redirect all the traffic (for all pages) from B to A using a 301 redirect.

IIS7.5 Http Redirect it is not design for this situation so I suppose to use IIS 7.5 Url Rewrite Module.

My questions: how write the ROLE in my web.config? Thanks

Try adding something like this between the <System.webServer> tags in your web.config:

<rewrite>
    <rules>
        <rule name="Redirect mysite.hosting.com to mysite.co.uk" patternSyntax="Wildcard" stopProcessing="true">
            <match url="*" />
            <conditions>
                <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="mysite.hosting.com" />
            </conditions>
            <action type="Redirect" url="http://mysite.co.uk/{R:0}" />
        </rule>
    </rules>
</rewrite>

Alternatively, you can do this using global rules by adding:

<rewrite>
    <globalRules>
            <rule name="Redirects to mysite.co.uk" patternSyntax="ECMAScript" stopProcessing="true">
            <match url=".*" />
            <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny">
                <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="mysite.hosting.com$" />
            </conditions>
            <action type="Redirect" url="http://mysite.co.uk/{R:0}" />
        </rule>
    </globalRules>
</rewrite>

C# – How to force HTTPS using a web.config file

You need URL Rewrite module, preferably v2 (I have no v1 installed, so cannot guarantee that it will work there, but it should).

Here is an example of such web.config -- it will force HTTPS for ALL resources (using 301 Permanent Redirect):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <rewrite>
            <rules>
                <clear />
                <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>
            </rules>
        </rewrite>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>

P.S. This particular solution has nothing to do with ASP.NET/PHP or any other technology as it's done using URL rewriting module only -- it is processed at one of the initial/lower levels -- before request gets to the point where your code gets executed.

Lisp filter out results from list not matching predicate

These functions are in the CL package, you will need to (require 'cl) to use them:

(remove-if-not #'evenp '(1 2 3 4 5))

This will return a new list with all even numbers from the argument.

Also look up delete-if-not, which does the same, but modifies its argument list.
