Tomcat 7.0.42 jdk1.7.0_51 Ubuntu 12.04/CentOS dev/deploy I have been reading more and more about Google and the like prioritising sites that employ https/ssl by default. Currently my site does not use https but delegates payment to a secure payment provider who does, thusly I have avoided going through the pain of certification etc, now it appears I have little option but to implement https site wide. I have managed to get a keystore going and have configured tomcat to serve a self signed certificate when accessing the site by https (default port 443)
so http://localhost accesses the home page and https://localhost pops up a warning in Firefox regarding an unknown certification authority. This is all good and I'm pretty sure I understand so far. I have noticed that if I type http://www.google.co.uk in to a browser the address is automatically changed (redirected) to https://www.google.co.uk and I would like the same to happen to my site. Here is the question. Is this 'redirection' something I need to configure myself , (can it be done in server.xml for example) or is this something the people I rent my server from need to do at their end.
