Question

I’m using url routing for my latest project – it’s web forms not MVC.

I noticed that all paths to physical pages are virtual, so how do I direct to an https page?

Answer 1

There are several ways to redirect to HTTPS. See the answers on this SO question.

You can add a UrlRewrite rule to IIS (or directly to the web.config like below):

<rewrite>
        <rules>
            <rule name="Redirect HTTP to HTTPS" stopProcessing="true">
                <match url="(.*)"/>
                <conditions>
                    <add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="^OFF$"/>
                </conditions>
                <action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}/{R:1}" redirectType="SeeOther"/>
            </rule>
        </rules>
    </rewrite>
