IIS redirect HTTP to HTTPS but allow Let's Encrypt

Let’s Encrypt makes it easy for everyone to use HTTPS. The Windows client letsencrypt-win-simple simplifies installing and updating certificate in IIS.

Using IIS URL Rewrite function you can allow Let’s Encrypt certificate retrieval/renewal and redirect all visitors to HTTPS URL of site.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <rewrite>
            <rules>
                <rule name="Allow LetsEncrypt" patternSyntax="Wildcard" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url=".well-known/*" />
                    <action type="None" />
                </rule>
                <rule name="Redirect HTTP to HTTPS" patternSyntax="Wildcard" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="*" ignoreCase="false" />
                    <conditions>
                        <add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="off" />
                    </conditions>
                    <action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}{REQUEST_URI}" />
                </rule>
            </rules>
        </rewrite>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<system.webServer>

<rules>

</rule>

</conditions>

</rule>

</rules>

</rewrite>

</system.webServer>

</configuration>
