IIS 7.5 URL Rewrite Problem

[FN-GM]

Hi,

I wish to setup step 4 in this URL 10 URL Rewriting Tips and Tricks : Ruslan's Blog : The Official Microsoft IIS Site

I have got the following code in my web.conf file but when i try to get to the site i get error 500. When i remove the code this site works as usual.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<rule name="Redirect to HTTPS" stopProcessing="true">
  <match url="(.*)" />
  <conditions>
    <add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="^OFF$" />
  </conditions>
  <action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}/{R:1}" redirectType="SeeOther" />
</rule>
</configuration>

Any thoughts please?

Thanks

EDIT: I have also tried this code with no luck.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <rewrite>
            <rules>
<rule name="Redirect to HTTPS" stopProcessing="true">
  <match url="(.*)" />
  <conditions>
    <add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="^OFF$" />
  </conditions>
  <action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}/{R:1}" redirectType="SeeOther" />
</rule>
        </rules>
        </rewrite>
</configuration>

Thanks

If you are trying to redirect non-secure requests to a secure request, I use the following:

<rule name="HTTPS Redirect" enabled="true" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll" trackAllCaptures="false">
<add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="^OFF$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}/{R:1}" />
</rule>
