Thread: AppConfig RedirectLiveToWWW

On version 8.0.12 does this setting redirect all non www reqests to a www.my domain request? The documentation seems to indicate in only acts on the default.aspx page. I had this set to true then asked my hosting company to set an IIS redirect and they set it caused a looping issue and they removed it. I set this setting back at false and asked them to try again and they said they again got the looping issue.

Is the best place to setup the redirect in IIS or in the AppConfigs?

Thanks.

By default is it designed to work on only the default.aspx page. You can add this behavior to all pages by adding the following (in red) to your \APP_Code\SkinBase.cs:

Code:

        public SkinBase(String TemplateName)
        {
            if (AppLogic.IsAdminSite && AppLogic.OnLiveServer() && AppLogic.UseSSL() && !CommonLogic.IsSecureConnection())
            {
                if (AppLogic.RedirectLiveToWWW())
                {
                    HttpContext.Current.Response.Redirect("https://www." + AppLogic.LiveServer() + CommonLogic.ServerVariables("PATH_INFO") + "?" + CommonLogic.ServerVariables("QUERY_STRING"));
                }
                else
                {
                    HttpContext.Current.Response.Redirect("https://" + AppLogic.LiveServer() + CommonLogic.ServerVariables("PATH_INFO") + "?" + CommonLogic.ServerVariables("QUERY_STRING"));
                }
            }
            if (!AppLogic.IsAdminSite && AppLogic.OnLiveServer())
 	            {
 	                if (AppLogic.RedirectLiveToWWW())
 	                {
 	                    if (!HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Host.StartsWith("www."))
 	                    {
 	                        if (CommonLogic.IsSecureConnection())
 	                        {
 	                            HttpContext.Current.Response.Redirect("https://www." + AppLogic.LiveServer() + CommonLogic.ServerVariables("PATH_INFO") + "?" + CommonLogic.ServerVariables("QUERY_STRING"));
 	                        }
 	                        else
 	                        {
 	                            HttpContext.Current.Response.Redirect("http://www." + AppLogic.LiveServer() + CommonLogic.ServerVariables("PATH_INFO") + "?" + CommonLogic.ServerVariables("QUERY_STRING"));
 	                        }
 	                    }
 	                }
 	            }

Thank for the information.

I again asked the hosting company to install an IIS redirect and this time it worked.
