htaccess message on IIS server

    I’m running the really simple ssl plugin on a number of sites on my windows IIS server (8.5). After this recent plugin update, I’m getting a message – “Your .htaccess does not contain the Really Simple SSL redirect to https, and could not be written, so a javascript redirect is currently added.”

    Since I’m not running apache – do I need to edit my web.config file for this error? Not sure what I should do regarding it.

    Thanks,
    Jay

    You can dismiss this error, as it is specifically for apache users. In future updates support for redirects in other servers will be added.

    It is advisable to add a 301 redirect in your web.config. An example to do this I found here:
    https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9823010/how-to-force-https-using-a-web-config-file

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <rewrite>
            <rules>
                <clear />
                <rule name="Redirect to https" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="(.*)" />
                    <conditions>
                        <add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="off" ignoreCase="true" />
                    </conditions>
                    <action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}{REQUEST_URI}" redirectType="Permanent" appendQueryString="false" />
                </rule>
            </rules>
        </rewrite>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>
