Url rewrite rules not redirecting - url-rewriting

Question

I have my .net mvc website hosted in liquid web cloud. I wanted to redirect all website users if they enter the following url http://example.com,http://www.example.com,https://example.com
to https://www.example.com ( i.e. consistent url not matter how they enter)
i tried the following code in web.config but no luck.
<rule name="Redirect Non WWW" stopProcessing="true" >
<match url="^(http\.)(.*)$" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
<add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="^OFF$" />
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^https://www.example.com$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" redirectType="Permanent" url="https://www.example.com/{R:0}" appendQueryString="true" />
</rule>
Domain is already registered as www.example.com and SSL is enabled on the domain.

Answer 1

You have used MatchAll and also set the condition that url should have https to start rediretion! Just change it to having http instead:
incorrect:
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^https://www.example.com$" />
correct:
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^http://www.example.com$" />

Answer 2

Since you're going to force a redirect to use HTTPS, (.*) will match all URLs and you can set the pattern to off.
<rule name="HTTP to HTTPS Redirection" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="off" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}{REQUEST_URI}" redirectType="Found" />
</rule>
Update:
There isn't any problem with method 1, but also adding this for those who visit this post later.
Method 2:
<rule name="HTTP to HTTPS Redirection" enabled="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<action type="Redirect" url="https://www.example.com/{REQUEST_URI}" appendQueryString="true" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
