Thank you

Please forgive my ignorance on this matter.

Why would you want to redirect from a simple http site to an
https site? Isn't http bad enough at it is? - LH

Let me declarify that.

I meant to ask: "isn't http complicated enough without adding an 's'
or other letters to it all?

ssl encryption secures your web site with a private key

In IIS 6.0 you can just do a redirect to port 443 and stop port 80 for that IP address.

i'd like users to avoid the 403;4 error. I'm trying to redirect without users intervention.

[txbakers]

<% if (String(Request.ServerVariables("HTTPS")) == "off") Response.Redirect("https://www.yoursite.com"); %>

[paolo623]

tx, would you put that as a default page with an html extension? I'm not really good at scripting (-:

[txbakers]

the default page would be an ASP page, that was ASP code in javascript.

It checks to see if the server protocol was HTTP and if so, redirects the user automatically to HTTPS

My default page is "default.asp"

I'll try that first thing monday. Thanks for your help!

[paolo623]

No luck with that either. I et an endless loop. Any other idea?
Thanks

It's isn't simple a case of having a https url. An https request to a web server will trigger the server to handle it as a secure request.
