HTTP to HTTPS IIS rewrite rule that preserves full url

Hi guys,

I want to create a rule in IIS (server 2012/2016) that would redirect the full url from http version to https while preserving the full url.

To give you an example, let's say I have 2 domain names: domain1.com and domain2.com. I want to set up a rule that would redirect to an HTTPS version of domain2.com while preserving anything else user typed after the main domain bit.
So the rule would do this:
http://domain1.com redirects to https://domain2.com
http://domain1.com/help redirects to https://domain2.com/help
http://www.domain1.com redirects to https://domain2.com
http://www.domain1.com/help redirects to https://domain2.com/help
http://domain2.com redirects to https://domain2.com
http://domain2.com/services redirects to https://domain2.com/services
http://www.domain2.com redirects to https://domain2.com
http://www.domain2.com/help redirects to https://domain2.com/help

I know how to set up a standard redirect from HTTP to HTTPS but it redirects to the HTTPS version of domain while losing anything user typed after the main domain for example: http://domain1.com/help redirects to https://domain2.com (removes /help bit, while i want to preserve it)

The existing rule is:

<rule name="HTTP to HTTPS" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="^OFF$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://domain2.com/{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>

Hope this makes sense and thanks very much for your help in advance!

Kind regards,
Arthur
