I have the following rules in my UrlRewriting.config:

<add name="sctCanonical" virtualUrl="http:// sctflash.com/(.*)" rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString" destinationUrl="http://www.sctflash.com/$1" redirect="Domain" redirectMode="Permanent" ignoreCase="true" />

<add name="bdCanonical" virtualUrl="http:// bullydog.com/(.*)" rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString" destinationUrl="http://www.bullydog.com/$1" redirect="Domain" redirectMode="Permanent" ignoreCase="true" />


<add name="rewriteFolderSlashes" virtualUrl="^~/((?!umbraco/).[^?]*)/$" rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString" destinationUrl="~/$1" redirect="Application" ignoreCase="true" redirectMode="Permanent" />

I am trying to redirect the user to https:\\www.sctflash.com for example, but when I type in www.sctflash.com, it does not or when I type in http:\\www.sctflash.com, it doesn't either. I thought adding making the destination url "https://www.sctflash.com/$1" would work, but it doesn't?

Changing it to the following works, but why, also will these still put www in front of non-www urls:

<add name="sctCanonical" virtualUrl="http://(.*)" rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString" destinationUrl="https://$1" redirect="Domain" redirectMode="Permanent" ignoreCase="true" />

<add name="bdCanonical" virtualUrl="http://(.*)" rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString" 

destinationUrl="https://$1" redirect="Domain" redirectMode="Permanent" ignoreCase="true" />

Do I also have to change the cultures and hostnames to from http:\\www.sctflash.com to https:\\www.sctflash.com?

Looks like changing my desintationUrl does not rewrite to www, but it does https. How can I keep both?

Not sure if this is the right way, but I ended up using 2 rules, one to rewrite to www and the other to rewrite to https:

<add name="sctCanonical" virtualUrl="http://sctflash.com/(.*)" rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString" destinationUrl="http://www.sctflash.com/$1" redirect="Domain" redirectMode="Permanent" ignoreCase="true" />

<add name="bdCanonical" virtualUrl="http://bullydog.com/(.*)" rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString" destinationUrl="http://www.bullydog.com/$1" redirect="Domain" redirectMode="Permanent" ignoreCase="true" />

<add name="sctHTTPS" virtualUrl="http://www.sctflash.com/(.*)" rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString" destinationUrl="https://www.sctflash.com/$1" redirect="Domain" redirectMode="Permanent" ignoreCase="true" />

<add name="bdHTTPS" virtualUrl="http://www.bullydog.com/(.*)" rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString" destinationUrl="https://www.bullydog.com/$1" redirect="Domain" redirectMode="Permanent" ignoreCase="true" />
