We have an interesting hosting environment that dictates all
secure traffic must travel over a specific sub domain. E.g. http://secure.domain.com/my-page
I'd like to handle this switch using URL Rewrite, i.e. at server level, rather than application level.
My cases are:
https://secure.domain.com/page = NO CHANGE, remains the same
https://domain.com/page = sub-domain inserted, https://secure.domain.com/page
https://www.domain.com/page = remove 'www', insert sub-domain
In my mind the logic is:
INPUT = Full Url = http://www.domain.com/page
If INPUT contains HTTPS
Then check Full URL, does it contain '
secure'?
If YES do nothing, if no add '
secure'
If INPUT contains 'www' remove 'www'
The certificate is not a wild card (e.g. top level domain) and is issues to:
https://secure.domain.com/
The website could also be hosted in a staging environment. E.g.
https://secure.environment.domain.com/
I do not have control over 'environment' or 'domain' or the 'tld'.

So as mentioned below, the trick here is to avoid a redirect loop that could drive anyone well loopy.
This is what I propose:
One rule to force certain traffic to the
secure domain:
<rule name="Force 'Umbraco' to
secure" stopProcessing="true">
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
<add input="{REQUEST_URI}" pattern="^/umbraco/(.+)$" ignoreCase="true" />
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" negate="true" pattern="^secure\.(.+)$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://secure.{HTTP_HOST}/{R:0}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
Another rule, that then removes the
secure domain, expect for traffic on the
secure domain.
<rule name="Remove
secure, expect for Umbraco" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" ignoreCase="true" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^secure\.(.+)$" />
<add input="{REQUEST_URI}" negate="true" pattern="^/umbraco/(.+)$" ignoreCase="true" />
</conditions>
<!-- Set Domain to match environment -->
<action type="Redirect" url="http://staging.domain.com/{R:0}" appendQueryString="true" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
This works for a single directory or group of files, however I've been unable to add additional logic into those two rules. For example you might have 3 folders that need to be
secure, I tried adding these as Negate records, but then no redirection happens at all.
Hmmm! L
