HTTP to HTTPS redirect

Bob Hansen

I am using the following code in my default.asp page to redirect the page
from HTTP to HTTPS

<%

if Request.ServerVariables("HTTPS") = "off" Then

Response.Redirect("https://" & Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_HOST") &
Request.ServerVariables("URL"))

End if
%>

I got the code off of a website and found that many web sites had similar
code for doing the same thing. The problem I am having is that the code
will not redirect to the HTTPS and will keep reloading the page. Is there a
setup issue with IIS that I might be missing?

Thanks

Have you verified that Request.ServerVariables("HTTPS") contains what you
think it contains? Response.Write it to be sure.

Value is set to "off" on the first pass, after that I cannot tell because it
keeps redirecting into a loop so I am pretty sure that the server variable
for HTTPS is never getting set to anything but "off"

That didnt work either. This solution just made it so all of the pages were
unauthorized for viewing.

Put a page containing the following in the same directory as your other
page.

Response.Write Request.ServerVariables("HTTPS")

call it using http: and see what it returns.
then call it using https

This might give you a clue.
