examining the "http://" portion of a url

Hi!   I need help to learn how to examine the "http://" or "https://" part of a url in an http_request. I know it's not [HTTP::host] or [HTTP::uri]. Surely there must be a method for doing this? ...

Sure. I have a number of virtual servers that run on non-standard ports.

 

 

For example, http://myserver.com:81. I have configured an SSL profile that allows non-encrypted connections so a user can connect using either http://myserver.com:81 OR https://myserver.com:81.

 

 

Now I need to enforce a redirect from HTTP to HTTPS. The only thing that is different about the url is the presence or absense of the "S".

 

 

Maybe there is another way to do this... is there another way to test for encrypted vs non-encrypted?

 

 

thanks!
