Hi SP,

if is the only web application on the IP, then simply redirect to a fixed HOST-value. It will work in any case...

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    HTTP::respond 301 "Location" "https://www.domain.com[HTTP::uri]"
     HTTP::respond 302 "Location" "https://www.domain.com[HTTP::uri]"
}

Note: If you don't use HTTP to access your web site and also not plan to use it in the future, then it would be far more elegant to send a 301 (Permanent Redirect) instead of 302 (Temporary Redirect) response. The 

HTTP::redirect
command can only send 301 (Temporary Redirect) responses, but the 
HTTP::respond
command can either send a 
301
or 
302
redirect response (see example above).

Cheers, Kai
