Is there a way to have all URL of a website load with https?
For example. www.mysite.com would load as https://www.mysite.com

Dan

yeah, there is.

Would you care to enlighten me?

The effectiveness of HTTPS can be limited by poor implementation of browser or server software or a lack of support for some algorithms. Furthermore, although HTTPS secures data as it travels between the server and the client, once the data is decrypted at its destination, it is only as secure as the host computer.

What in the name of abraham lincoln has that got to do with it?

your basic form of spam, that - don't answer the question, just paste your link plus some apparently related material which you yourself probably don't even understand, otherwise you'd realise it doesn't have much to do with the question


Well here's an answer -

you can easily set your server to treat some suffix you make for yourself (eg .mine) to be included as a cgi script suffix, then you can add the name index.mine to somewhere in the httpd.conf where you can choose what to look for as the index file of folders - then in your primary folder where your domain in question leads - you can get the cgi script, called index.mine (which is a name no one will see, since the domain will call that up as its default - so www.mysite.com will just execute index.mine) to run the command...

print "Location:https://www.mysite.com\n\n";


Then when you type http://www.mysite.com it will instantly redirect and turn up at the location https://www.mysite.com

easy stuff, eh?

A lot easier than facing off korean hackers in the night...

You can edit it directly in the IIS also.

I know the common thing is to forward http:// to https://, but I am migrating a tool from a server with https:// to a server without.
