| Redirect users to a secured site |
| When you use SSL to secure the communication between your Web servers and its clients, users |
| have to manually specify the https protocol instead of http. If users fail to specify https, the Web |
| server displays a default error message that some users might find confusing. The best way to |
| handle this is to make sure that the user never has to think about this error message. |
| Providing a default document that automatically forwards users to the secured site is one way to |
| ensure that users aren't confronted with the Web server's cryptic default error. |
| To forward users to a secure site, add this code to your default document: |
| if (Request.Servervariables("SERVER_PORT") = 80) then |
| path = path & Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME") |
| path = path & Request.Servervariables("URL") |
| if (Request.Servervariables("QUERY_STRING") <> "") then |
| path = path & "?" & Request.Servervariables("QUERY_STRING") |
| Now when the user tries to access this document, the Web server will check to see if he or she is |
| using https. If the user did not use https, he or she will be immediately redirected to the SSL |
