My $0.02 worth here. I had a similar problem recently when I switched our network over to a routed network instead of drop-in. The DNS needed to change, but I didn't change it, so pound redirected all https back to http, no matter what. When I fixed the DNS (the pound machine had to resolve its name to its IP address correctly), the https redirect always worked.
Your experience, Iain, may have been just a DNS configuration. From the pound machine, do a nslookup on its name and domain combination. If you get the IP of the pound machine, then my advice is not relevant. Otherwise, fix the DNS. -- Jake -----Original Message----- From: Iain Barnett [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, December 18, 2010 10:59 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Pound Mailing List] Redirect HTTP to HTTPS On 18 Dec 2010, at 17:29, Dave Steinberg wrote: > On 12/18/2010 12:13 PM, Iain Barnett wrote: >> >> On 18 Dec 2010, at 16:41, Dave Steinberg wrote: >> >>> Try using the RewriteLocation directive, or fix the backend so >>> that links go to the proper protocol. >> >> >> Fix?

Nobody on this list gets paid to help you, so I am not sure why you seem so offended. > Paid or not, suggesting it's anything other than Pound without further information is presumptuous, so telling somebody to fix their backend is hardly helpful, is it? There's also a lack of documentation on RewriteLocation, one entry in the man page and zero examples. Even for Open Source, that's poor, especially for an 8(?) year old project. So perhaps I do sound huffy, but should anyone sound grateful? Regards, Iain -- To unsubscribe send an email with subject unsubscribe to [email protected].
