I configured IIS as a reverse proxy using Url Rewrite module and ARR 3. I have a public domain which redirect to my application on localhost. It's working fine excepted when the application redirect to another host. ie: redirecting to "https://www.google.com/search?q=url+rewrite+iis+arr+3" My browser shows "http://localhost/search?q=url+rewrite+iis+arr+3" which fails
The hosted application is using Asp Net Mvc with framework.net 4.5. The application is working with integrated pipeline in IIS application pool configuration.
Using Fiddler, I can see the following trace on redirect :
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Cache-Control: private
Content-Length: 350
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Location: http://localhost/search?q=url+rewrite+iis+arr+3
Server: Microsoft-IIS/7.5
X-Powered-By: ARR/3.0
X-Powered-By: ASP.NET
