How do You Redirect HTTP to HTTPS ?

[mginop]

Anyone know the best method to redirect certain files (eg: contact form) requested via http to https?

-Thanks in advance.

i did this on one of my sites using htaccess - this example applies itself to the entire site, so anything that is requested using HTTP is redirected to itself using HTTPS

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

Thanks but the above methods seem to be for the entire site and/or sub domain. I just want to redirect individual files.

do a few google searches for htacess and redirects - you'll find the syntax you need to only redirect the specific files you need to.

cpanel may also have an option you can use to create redirects (I hand-edit myself so I can't confirm that).

This delivers thatpage.shtml in place of either thispage.htm or thispage2.htm Try adding in a https: as the destination

RewriteEngine On 
RewriteRule ^thispage.htm$ thatpage.shtml [N]
RewriteRule ^thispage2.htm$ thatpage.shtml [L]

the example i posted can easily be modified to only redirect specific files or folders

Here is the code I finally used. It redirects example.com to www.example.com and then a specific file from http to https:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^example.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [r=301,nc]


rewritecond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
rewriterule ^filename\.php(.*)$ https://www.example.com/filename.php$1 [r=301]

Hope this can help someone else out.
