Using URL Rewrite for HNSC Web App

Question

Greetz!
I'm using host named site collections in my deployment of 2013 Enterprise. I've got a single web app, on the default zone, that was created on port 443 with the -SecureSocketLayer parameter. How can I seamlessly redirect users accessing a HNSC with http
to the correct (and only) https url? I'm using the URL Rewrite 2.0 with IIS 8.5.
I have the following rule in place but it is still throwing a 404 on pages. Is this able to work with Host Named Site Collections and does it matter that I've installed the Web App on 443 without having it on 80 first? It shouldn't but SharePoint has
surprised me before ;):
  <rule name="SSL Redirect" enabled="true" stopProcessing="true">
                <match url="(.*)" />
                <conditions>
                    <add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="off" />
                </conditions>
                <action type="Redirect" url="https://{SERVER_NAME}" redirectType="Found" />
            </rule>
        <rule name="HTTP/S to HTTPS Redirect" enabled="false" stopProcessing="true">
          <match url="(.*)" negate="true" />
            <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny">
                    <add input="{SERVER_PORT_SECURE}" pattern="1" />
                    <add input="{SERVER_PORT_SECURE}" pattern="0" />
     </conditions>
     <action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}" redirectType="Permanent" />
     </rule>

Answer 1

are you using the URL Rewrite on the same IIS web application as the SharePoint sites?
