Requests to http changed to https

The one we use, which I think is pretty standard, looks like this:

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

 

HTTP::redirect https://[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]

 

 

}

just in case you would like to use built-in feature.

 

 

sol7125: Configuring a virtual server to automatically redirect HTTP requests to HTTPS

Instead of HTTP::redirect (which generates a 302 - Temporary Redirect) you may want to consider:

 

 

HTTP::respond 301 Location "https://[HTTP::host][HTTP:uri]"

 

 

 

That way the client will cache the redirect and save you a few cycles.

 

 

 

Also, keep in mind that you can issue only one HTTP::respond/HTTP::redirect; you'll encounter a nasty "connection reset" if multiple respond/redirects are issued.
