James,

When I replied, I failed to notice that you are running tomcat 4.1. I've never used 4.1 so I don't know if it used the same connector configuration syntax. But, I'm guessing that you need to tell the HTTP connector to redirect to the HTTPS connector.

Hi,

I've been wrestling with SSL on Tomcat for a while now. Hope you can offer
some useful pointers.

My problem is around getting http requests auto-redirected to return an
https response.

I can request https://exampleServer.com:8443/testPage.html and get an
encrypted response.

However, if I request http://exampleServer.com:8080/testPage.html I see an
HTTP 500 "internal error" message. I was expecting the server to internally
redirect the request to https://... and return an encrypted response.

I've configured a security-constraint in web.xml for testPage.html. I've
checked the servlet and catalina logs but don't see any errors or warnings.

I'm working with Tomcat 4.1.30 on a FreeBSD v4.7 platform. I know these are
old versions, but I'm constrained by other dependencies in the Production
environment.

Apologies if this is a common problem - I have checked the archives but
didn't find what I need.

Thanks for any help.

Regards,

James.
