only secure "https://" possible?

[basic]

Hello All:

A simple question:
Is it possible (in WHM) to set a domain hosting account up, so that it is ONLY accessible via https://.... and not http://... Someone trying to access http://domain.com would then be forwarded to https://domain.com -- is that possible, can this be set up? If so, how?

Thanks for your input.

You could set up a redirect rule to direct traffic going to http:// to go to https://. This can be done by using mod_rewrite directives in .htaccess. You can find information on how to do this at:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html

Thanks!

To anyone else interested -- this works:

I edited the .htaccess file of the domain and added these three lines:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

You can also use the following

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://yourdomainhere/ [R]
