I have created a redirect rules in my web.config to redirect my website from http to https. The issue i have is that every single link on the website is now https. I have a lots of link to other website which don't have SSL and therefore i get certificate errors. This is what i have done:
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="HTTP/S to HTTPS Redirect" enabled="true" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny">
<add input="{SERVER_PORT_SECURE}" pattern="^0$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}/{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
How can i redirect https only for my domain and not every links on my website?
In asp.net Core 2 you can use an URL Rewrite independent of the Web Server, by using
app.UseRewriter in Startup.Configure, like this:
if (env.IsDevelopment())
{
app.UseBrowserLink();
app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
}
else
{
app.UseExceptionHandler("/Home/Error");
// todo: replace with app.UseHsts(); once the feature will be stable
app.UseRewriter(new RewriteOptions().AddRedirectToHttps(StatusCodes.Status301MovedPermanently, 443));
}
Actually (ASP.NET Core 1.1) there is a middleware named Rewrite that includes a rule for what you are trying to do.
You can use it on Startup.cs like this:
var options = new RewriteOptions()
.AddRedirectToHttpsPermanent();
app.UseRewriter(options);
In ASP.NET Core 2.2 you should use Startup.cs settings for redirect http to https
so add this in ConfigureServices:
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddHttpsRedirection(options =>
{
options.HttpsPort = 443;
}); // ===== Add this =====
}
and add this in Configure :
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env)
{
if (env.IsDevelopment())
{
app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
app.UseDatabaseErrorPage();
}
else
{
app.UseExceptionHandler("/Home/Error");
app.UseHsts(); // ===== Add this =====
}
app.UseHttpsRedirection(); // ===== Add this =====
}
then enjoy it.
asp.net core < 2 just put this code into your startup.cs
// IHostingEnvironment (stored in _env) is injected into the Startup class.
if (!_hostingEnvironment.IsDevelopment())
{
services.Configure<MvcOptions>(options =>
{
options.Filters.Add(new RequireHttpsAttribute());
});
}
You will need to add also the following code in .net core 2.1
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env)
{
if (env.IsDevelopment())
{
app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
}
else
{
app.UseExceptionHandler("/Error");
app.UseHsts();
}
app.UseHttpsRedirection();
app.UseStaticFiles();
app.UseCookiePolicy();
app.UseMvc();
}
and the following part in service configuration
services.AddHttpsRedirection(options =>
{
options.RedirectStatusCode = StatusCodes.Status307TemporaryRedirect;
options.HttpsPort = 5001;
});
In ASP.NET Core 2.1 just use this:
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env)
{
if (env.IsDevelopment())
{
app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
}
else
{
app.UseExceptionHandler("/Error");
app.UseHsts(); // <-- Add this !!!!!
}
app.UseHttpsRedirection(); // <-- Add this !!!!!
app.UseStaticFiles();
app.UseCookiePolicy();
app.UseMvc();
}
