    <p>I'm working on a website that uses IIS 7's URL rewriting feature to do a permanent redirect from example.com to www.example.com, as well as rewrites from similar domain names to the "main" one, such as from www.examples.com to www.example.com. </p> <p>This rewrite rule - shown below - has worked well for some time now. However, we recently added HTTPS support and noticed that if users visit one of the URLs to be rewritten to www.example.com then HTTPS is dropped. For instance, if a user visits <a href="https://example.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://example.com</a> they get redirected to <a href="http://www.example.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.example.com</a>, whereas we would like them to be sent to <a href="https://www.example.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.example.com</a>.</p> <p>Here is the rewrite rule of interest (in Web.config):</p> <pre class="lang-xml prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;rule name="Canonical Host Name" stopProcessing="true"&gt; &lt;match url="(.*)" /&gt; &lt;conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny"&gt; &lt;add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^example\.com$" /&gt; &lt;add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^(www\.)?example\.net$" /&gt; &lt;add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^(www\.)?example\.info$" /&gt; &lt;add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^(www\.)?examples\.com$" /&gt; &lt;/conditions&gt; &lt;action type="Redirect" url="http://www.example.com/{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent" /&gt; &lt;/rule&gt; </code></pre> <p>As you can see, the action element's url attribute points directly to http://, so I get why <a href="https://example.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://example.com</a> is redirected to <a href="http://www.example.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.example.com</a>. My question is, how do I fix this? I tried (naively) to just drop the http:// part from the url attribute, but that didn't work.</p>

    1. COIt appears that simply leaving `HTTP://` out of the redirect URL will cause IIS 7.5 to use the inbound request's protocol.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
