Forwarded domain not working with https - https

I had an old web site: https://oldsite.com. I created a new site on a different web server: https://newsite.com
I forwarded the domain oldsite.com to newsite.com. The problem is that when https://oldsite.com is entered, I get a site cannot be found message. It redirects fine when entered with just http, but breaks down on the https.
How can I go about forwarding both the http and the https to a the new site?
Thank you?

try <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=https://www.newsite.com/newurl.html">
this will just use the meta in your site to redirect it to your new site.

Is it possible to send a request to HTTP from HTTPS website?

I have a HTTPS website and non-SSL server, and I should send a request to non-SSL server from HTTPS website.
If I send a request to HTTP server, there occurs Mixed Content error.
Mixed Content: The page at 'https://my-website' was loaded over HTTPS,
but requested an insecure resource 'http://my-server/'. This request
has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.
So I added this line to html.
<head>
...
<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="upgrade-insecure-requests">
...
</head>
But this transfers all the HTTP request into HTTPS, so I cannot send a valid non-SSL request to my server. Is it possible to send a request to HTTP(non-SSL) server from HTTPS website? (Each server has different host.)

webmail.example.com throws 404 for HTTPS only on hosted server

I have a several web sites running on a shared hosted server.
Every site except one I can enter in my browser https://webmail.example.com or http://webmail.example.com and they both work and resolve to the secure or insecure pages accordingly.
On the one site the page resolves correctly for regular http but I get a "404 Not found" error when I try https for the webmail subdomain of that site. https://myexample.com does work for all pages on that site (without the webmail subdomain).
All of the DNS settings are the same for all of the sites. There is a CNAME record webmail.example.com --> examplecom. None of the sites have a "proper" subdomain setup where the subdoman points to a directory, just the DNS setting. The SSL Status reports that the SSL cert for the webmail subdomain is valid.
Im not sure what else to check or how webmail ultimately get pointed to the webmail page.

SSL and Umbraco

I am trying to get SSL working on a Windows server that is hosting our Umbraco sites. We have numerous sites all working within the same Umbraco installation and I have done the binding of the main domain to the SSL certificate on the server and set umbracoUseSSL to true. I have also added the domain with the https part to the culture and hostnames in umbraco.
The above is not working when I type my domain with the https?
My question is since I have not placed a UrlReWrite redirect from http to https is this the reason why I cannot see my website with the https or is it to do with something else?

URL rewrite is working for http but not for https

We want to display content of "https" site under my "http" site so, we are using IIS Rewrite module. (Same as CNAME)
We have created Inbound rules for same. However we are facing below error.
HTTP Error 502.3 - Bad Gateway
A connection with the server could not be established
If I use same rule in http site than it is working. Means We are able to display any http site content under my http site.
It is also working when we use "Redirect" action type but Here we want "Rewrite" action in rule because we do'not want to display another site Url
Inbound Rules and further details are here

SSO ADFS redirection issue with reverse proxy with ARR

I have a reverser proxy setup with ARR and URL Rewite on IIS 8.5
public site exposed is http:/publicsite
http:/publicsite act as a reverse proxy to the internal site http:/internalsite
Every thing was working fine till we implement SSO for the internal site.
Once sso is implemeted internal site is redirecting to http:/ssosite to get authenticated
Since in ARR we have enabled the option "Reverse rewrite host in response headers" the redirection to sso site was not proper.
To make it work "Reverse rewrite host in response headers" is disabled. and the sso redirection started working.
But now the issue happening is after succesful login the ADFS tries to redirect to http:/publicsite. and reverse proxy respond with a 302 and the location in the response is http:/internalsite and the client machine doesnt have access to.
In the same browser if i try to access the site http:/publicsite again everything is working as expected because it is already authenticated and no redirection required to sso site and back to application.
My understanding is the response header is not getting re written since we have disabled the "Reverse rewrite host in response headers" option.
Set preserveHostHeader="true" in applicationhost.config in the reverse proxy server. This solved the issue.
