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

     

     

    when HTTP_REQUEST {

     

     

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

     

     

    }

    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.
