Redirect from http to https and add www

Question

I want to redirect from http to https://www, I tried the following rule, but unfortunately failed.

<rule name="http to https and www" stopProcessing="true">
 <match url="(.*)" />
   <conditions>
     <add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="^OFF$" />
   </conditions>
 <action type="Redirect" url="https://www.example.com/{R:1}" redirectType="Temporary" />
</rule>

Can someone tell me where is the problem?

Hi @aywsdown

You should use two rules to achieve this. one for http to https and another one for https non-www to https www.

<rule name="http to https" stopProcessing="true">  
  <match url="(.*)" />  
    <conditions>  
          <add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="^OFF$" />  
          <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^(www\.)?example.com" />  
    </conditions>  
  <action type="Redirect" url="https://www.example.com/{R:1}" redirectType="Temporary" />  
</rule>  

<rule name="non-www to www" stopProcessing="true">  
  <match url="(.*)" />  
    <conditions>  
        <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="example.com" />  
        <add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="^on$" />  
     </conditions>  
   <action type="Redirect" url="https://www.example.com/{R:1}" />  
 </rule>
