Javascript Recipe - Redirect http to secure https URLs on the fly
![[mail]](rsc/img/envelope.gif){kind=small}
| Categories: Nerd Thoughts This code, when embedded in your HTML page, will automatically redirect visitors to the secure version of your page provided that SSL is set up on your server. The code requires no customization. It does not pass along request variables so you should use this on your “secure form” page.
Code:
<script language="JavaScript"> | |
loc=top.location.href; | |
if(! loc.match(/^https/)){ | |
loc=loc.replace(/^http:/,"https:"); | |
top.location.href=loc; | |
} | |
</script> |
Of course, ensuring your form data is encrypted on its way to storage or a recipient is another story. I’ll post how to do that if anyone asks.
