About redirecting to https.

About Redirect

HTTP is a "server & client method" system in which the client requests the server and the server responds.Due to the nature of this method, the server cannot control what requests the client makes.

In this example, the client web browser should use https:// instead of http://, but it is up to the browser to decide which one to access, so the server cannot control it.

This is a problem, so HTTP provides a mechanism called redirect.This tells the browser the next URL to access when the server responds.The browser then accesses the specified URL.

In this example, if http:// has access and the server responds with a redirect to https://, the client connects to https://, which is how the server directs requests from the client.

There are permanent and temporary redirects for redirects, but permanent is used when the site moves and the URL changes.The search site indexes permanent redirect destinations, so you can expect the URL https:// to be searched if you configure the redirect settings correctly.

How to Configure

You can configure redirect using the .htaccess file.

Edit the .htaccess file in a text editor and store it on the server as if it were html or something like this:

RewriteEngine On 
RewriteCond%{SERVER_PORT}80 
RewriteRule^(.*)$https://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

If you access it with http:// in your browser, the URL field automatically switches to https://, and you succeed.

A non-dependent method of configuring rental servers is to use Javascript to redirect to HTTPS if the protocol is HTTP.

Automatically redirects by loading a script similar to the following:

 if(location.protocol==='http:'){
    location.href='https:'+window.location.href.substring(window.location.protocol.length);
}
