Redirect HTTP to HTTPS

damienball

I just enabled HTTPS for my Orion site.  I have HTTPS required on IIS.  I want to redirect anyone who browses to the HTTP site to HTTPS.  What is the best way to handle this redirection?

HI Damienball

I am already using the same feature

First you need to understand that when you open a SSL (Https) site with Http it Gives you a specific error which is a html page call.

the idea is to replace the same page code with a script that changes the URL call.

Ensure you have made a copy of this page before proceeding.

I have replaced the 403.4 in IIS 6 with a .htm file that contains the following Javascript. It determines the http URL that the user went to and then redirects them to the https version.

<Script language="JavaScript">
<!-- begin hide

function goElseWhere()
{

var oldURL = window.location.hostname + window.location.pathname;


var newURL = "https://&quot; + oldURL;


window.location = newURL;

}
goElseWhere();

// end hide -->
</script>
