Clear IIS Redirect at server

I accidentally added a redirect to www.subdomain.domain.com, and the removed it from the web.config. The server continues to send the 301 Moved Permanently header. This is an ancient version 8.5 running on Windows Server 2012 R2. I cannot get it updated. The system is running on Azure.

I've done the following

  • cleared the browser cache
  • run in incognito mode in Chrome
  • tried using Edge
  • Disable Cache in Chrome Developer Tools
  • IIS HTTP Response Headers, Expire WebContent Immediately
  • restart IIS Application
  • restart IIS Server
  • disabled IIS Cache and Output Cache
  • waited several hours
  • used curl -v to see what the server is sending, it's still sending that 301

Any other suggestions would be appreciated

Solution

  • It turned out that the problem was in the CMS, Kentico, which has an option to force WWW. I turned that off and will retry the move.
