redircting http:// to https://

[ctbhost]

i have found a snipit that will redirect the visitor to the https:// page even if they try to access via the http://

put this in the verry begining of the index.php file

if ( !isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) || strtolower($_SERVER['HTTPS']) != 'on' ) { 
   header ('Location: https://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']); 
   exit(); 
}

why not setup a mod_rewrite in the .htaccess file? This is of course assuming you have mod_rewrite setup

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !443
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.x.com/$1 [R,L]

It's always preferable to put such configs into the httpd.conf itself, if at all possible. htaccess is convenient, especially if you have no other options (ie, no access to httpd.conf), but if you have a choice, go for httpd.conf.

LA-fro, I can't tell just from reading it whether your rewrite rule will work both with or without a trailing slash. I'm not sure if the default 'trailing slash fix' applies here.

My rewrite rule to ensure that a directory is always accessed using ssl is very similar to yours... I just have

(/)?

in front of your

(.*)

That ensures that both slashes and no-slashes will work.
