Web config redirecting...

[hlve]

So I'm having this issue where one of my search results is randomly coming up with a secure (https) link to the page. I haven't included a link to an https version of that page anywhere on my website, but it's not a page that should be, or needs to be securely browsed.

I'm trying to write a redirect rule to 301 it back down to http, so google changes their linking, and it fixes it... but every redirect rule I've tried doesn't seem to work. Google suggests using other methods (such as requireSSL on pages that use SSL, etc...) but that's not the way I want to resolve this.

We'll call it Pagea.aspx, and show you my local testing redirect which wasn't working.

        <rule name="Redirect - HTTPS PageA" stopProcessing="true">
          <match url="https://localhost/Pagea.aspx" ignoreCase="true" />
          <action type="Redirect" url="http://localhost/Pagea.aspx" redirectType="Permanent" />
        </rule>

Any help would be appreciated :]

I didn't use asp.net for quite a long time so I won't venture and try to respond to your issue, but I've found something that might help you: http://forums.iis.net/t/1174561.aspx

give that a read and see if it works.

Also, I've seen that you're using:

 <rule name="Redirect - HTTPS PageA"

while they use:

<rule name="HTTP to HTTPS" enabled="true" stopProcessing="true">

Thanks for the reply

Ended up not making any difference, it's enabled by default so the tag ends up not doing anything. Hm.
