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.
