Why does this redirect to www not work?

I have published my website and added these IIS rewrite rules in my web.config.

The one for HTTPS works but the other one for www does not. Does anybody knows what I am doing wrong? This code comes from the Umbraco documentation. I am working on Umbraco 11.

<rewrite>
        <rules>
            <rule name="HTTP to HTTPS redirect" stopProcessing="true">
                <match url="(.*)" />
                <conditions>
                    <add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="off" ignoreCase="true" />
                    <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="localhost" negate="true" />
                </conditions>
                <action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}/{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent" />
            </rule>
            <rule name="Redirect to www prefix" stopProcessing="true">
              <match url=".*" />
              <conditions>
                <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^www\." negate="true" />
                <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^localhost(:[0-9]+)?$" negate="true" />
                <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="\.umbraco\.io$" negate="true" />
              </conditions>
              <action type="Redirect" url="https://www.{HTTP_HOST}/{R:0}" />
            </rule>
        </rules>
      </rewrite>

Any help is much appreciated!

Hi Nanou,

I think something like this should work

<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
    <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^[^www]" />
    <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" matchType="Pattern" 
          pattern="^localhost(:\d+)?$" negate="true" />
</conditions>

That does not seem to work either :(

<rules>
        <rule name="HTTP to HTTPS redirect" stopProcessing="true">
            <match url="(.*)" />
            <conditions>
                <add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="off" ignoreCase="true" />
                <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="localhost" negate="true" />
            </conditions>
            <action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}/{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent" />
        </rule>
        <rule name="Redirect to www prefix" stopProcessing="true">
          <match url=".*" />
          <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
            <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^[^www]" />
            <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" matchType="Pattern" 
                  pattern="^localhost(:\d+)?$" negate="true" />
          </conditions>
          <action type="Redirect" url="https://www.{HTTP_HOST}/{R:0}" />
        </rule>
    </rules>

It just pasting this in the web.config right?
