IIS 7.5 http-redirect inherits from default web site?

Question

Default web site is set to redirect to a startup-application:

http://foo.bar.com becomes https://foo.bar.com/startapplication and it works fine.

However, i have another application on the web server and it should redirect to itself if called with http.

So for example this:

http://foo.bar.com/application

Should become this:

https://foo.bar.com/application

BUT

it becomes:

https://foo.bar.com/startapplication/application

It seems that the web server ( iis 7.5 ) inherits the http redirect in some kind of way from the default web site.

Is this standard behaviour or am i missing something here?

Install the URL Rewrite extension (if you haven't already) and configure an inbound rule as seen in the screenshots. Don't forget to disable your redirects.
