Redirect HTTP to HTTPS automatically
Windows
& Plesk Server
Windows-based accounts use
web.config files to handle redirection.
Using the following code in your
web.config file automatically redirects visitors to
the HTTPS version of your site:
Copy the following code in Web.config file under the “SYSTEM.WEBSERVER” section.
<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>
2. Save the web.config file and upload in Website root folder.
If you have an
existing web.config file:
- Ensure you have sections (i.e.
opening and closing tags) for:
- system.webServer (which contains rewrite)
- rewrite (which contains rules)
- rules (which contains one or more rule sections)
Insert any of those sections that do not exist.
- Insert the entire rule section, including match, conditions, and action, inside the rules section.
Note: You're inserting
the rule (without an 's') inside
the rules (with an 's') section.
