It used to be working, but I have found that it no longer does. I have been trying to rack my brains to figure out why it isn't working and the only thing I can think of is the stopProcessing flag. In my mind, the redirect should try to do the following:

• Try to redirect to www.
• Check the Url is not one of the urls in the moved site and redirect
• Start my node server
• Match the angular routes

The issue I have is that I "think" they should all have stopProcessing off, but they all have it on. Can someone explain why it shouldn't be off?

Or better still, explain to me why my web.config is not performing the redirects.
