Question

I need to redirect my HTTP site to HTTPS, have added below rule but I am getting 403 Error when tried using http://www.example.com, it works fine when I type https://www.exa

Answer 1

I did it thusly, since a local debug session uses custom port numbers:

    protected void Application_BeginRequest()
    {
        if (!Context.Request.IsSecureConnection)
        {
            if (HttpContext.Current.Request.IsLocal)
            {
                Response.Redirect(Context.Request.Url.ToString().Replace("http://localhost:25885/", "https://localhost:44300/"));
            }
            else
            {
                Response.Redirect(Context.Request.Url.ToString().Replace("http://", "https://"));
            }
        }
    }

Preferably there would be some way to get the URL and SSL URL programmatically...
