URL Rewrite to redirect ONLY .html pages

Sep 19, 2019 03:26 PM|steve841|LINK

OK ..I've used the common URL rewrite to redirect http to https.

Problem I'm seeing: Google crawls for sitemaps.xml and ads.txt and isn't happy.

Can someone help me with the http to https redirect for HMTL pages only so the .xml and .txt are ignored?

URL rewrite is Definitely my weakness.

IIS 7 / Thanks. Working/existing rule below.

 </rule>
                <rule name="https" enabled="true" patternSyntax="Wildcard" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="*" />
                    <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny">
                        <add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="www.123.com" />
                    </conditions>
                    <action type="Redirect" url="https://www.123.com/{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent" />
                </rule>

Hi,

You could use below url rewrite rule:
```
<rule name="HTTPS force" enabled="true" stopProcessing="true">
 <match url="(.*)" />
 <conditions>
                        <add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="off" />
                        <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^www.abc.com$" />
                        <add input="{REQUEST_URI}" pattern="(.*)\.html|(.*)\.html|(.*)" />
                        <add input="{REQUEST_URI}" pattern="(.*)\.txt|(.*)\.xml" negate="true" />
 </conditions>
 <action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}{REQUEST_URI}" appendQueryString="false" redirectType="Permanent" />
 </rule>
```
in https you can only use on or off.

to match the hostname you need to use {http_host} server variable.

<add input="{REQUEST_URI}" pattern="(.*)\.txt|(.*)\.xml" negate="true" /> this rule deny the txt and xml file to redirect http to https.

<add input="{REQUEST_URI}" pattern="(.*)\.html|(.*)\.html|(.*)" /> this rule allow html ,htm and other extetion page to redirect http tp https.

You could refer this below document for more detail:
