[MS4W-Users] redirecting http traffic to https

[Mark Volz]

Hello,

What do I need to do to redirect traffic from http:// to https:// in Apache for both the htdocs folder and all of my ms4w applications?

Background:
I am having trouble setting up my application to automatically redirect traffic from http:// to https:// using the built in Apache web server.  Thus far I have been able to enable https:// on my server and my apps work in https.  However, I am struggling to find the best way to automatically redirect http:// traffic to https://.   It seems like there are several ways to redirect traffic including using virtual hosts and .htaccess files.  One site recommended editing the ms4w\Apache\conf\httpd.conf file and adding a redirect statement.  The redirect worked for directing //http: traffic to https:// for files that are in the  Apache/htdocs folder.  However, it did not work to redirect any of the traffic for my ms4w applications.

Example of redirection added around line 347 in httpd.conf.
<IfModule alias_module>
...
#Added line below
Redirect permanent / https://mysite.com

Thank You!

Sincerely,
Mark Volz
