Redirect 301 / https://myserver.com/ is usually easier than mod_rewrite?
Hello every body,
i have a question about redirecting the apache server from http to
https dynamically. In fact, i proceed with the modification of the
apache2.conf file, and i force reload the server each time i want to
redirect from http to https or vice versa (sure after
commenting/decommenting lines in apache2.conf). I have my apache
server configured with php module. And i am using my server as a
webmail server by adding squirrelmail.
Once i am connected through squirrelmail, and i want to switch from
http to https or vice versa, the switching doesn't take place until i
refresh the page, however, as long as i am navigating through the same
"squirrelmail.php" dynamic page, my server always runs with http. So
is their a way to redirect from http to https (or vice versa) without
having each time to ask users to refresh their pages ???
my apache2.conf holds the lines below:
<VirtualHost *:80>
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !^on $ [NC]
RewriteRule .https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
</IfModule>
Alias /squirrelmail /var/www/squirrelmail
<Directory /var/www/squirrelmail>
....
</Directory>
To redirect to https, i comment the code between the IfModule brackets.
the 443 virtual host is unchanged (for an http -> https redirection),
and i have no problem when using https or http alone (without
redirection), that's mean that i have no errors of configuration at
this level.
Hint: i have no problem with the redirection itself because when i
refresh the page, the redirection takes place, but what i need is a
redirection when clicking on anything in the dynamic page, not
necessarly refreshing the page, because as you know, anytime we click
on a link within the dynamic php page, new request is generated to
the server, so theoretically, it must lead to a redirection, so why
this redirection does not take place only if i refresh the page ????
thanks for your help;
