Doh, of course, thanks.  I've now got a cert installed.  I had thought that since I want to have all https redirected to http, I wouldnt need a cert, but without a cert port 443 wont be open.

Now it is almost working, except that it seems to just URL rewrite, not redirect(?)

If I check https://mysite.com, the server header check shows 200 OK, with no mention of a 301.  If I browse to the page, it serves up https://mysite.com.  So it has done something, but I'm not quite sure what it has done - maybe a Response.Redirect?  I will have to dive into the source and try to figure it out.

Discussion continued back at ... http://www.ifinity.com.au/Products/Support_Forums/forumid/8/postid/392/scope/posts/ ... apparently if EnforceSSL is true, and Page.Secure is false, it does a javascript reload via window.location.replace - which is not a redirect at all, it is just more duplicate content, the code is :

Response.Clear()

' add a refresh header to the response

Response.AddHeader("Refresh", "0;URL=" & strURL)

' add the clientside javascript redirection script

Response.Write("[html][head][title][/title]")

Response.Write("[!-- [script language=""javascript"">window.location.replace(""" & strURL & """)[/script> --]")

Response.Write("[/head][body][/body][/html]")

' send the response

Response.End()

Ordinarily I don't revive old threads but perhaps it's forgivable in a tutorial I've just been following.

I've got SSL set up with 'SSL Enabled' and 'SSL Enforced'.  It's working great on the page which I've marked 'Secure' in the page settings ... everything else comes up as regular http (which is how I'd prefer it).

But I'm trying to set up a web service.  I have the webservice URL and would like to make it SSL. But at least when I type it into the browser it reverts to regular http.

I don't know what this means for when I get to implementing the webservice client but I fear that it means I've got another hoop of some sort to jump through. I would prefer to leave 'SSL Enforced' but I could use some advice.

Thanks
Brian
