Re: Best way to redirect all traffic to secure website. (Apache Users)

Thank you. I am glad I asked because I must have missed the permanent part. I will give it a shot. I'm on the HSTS preloading list, so most browsers should redirect to https anyways. Thanks so much!!!! It'd be nice to remove all those rewrite rules from the .htaccess file! The article I was originally following talked about the redirect directive in the Apache config file, but said it would not redirect the $1 or whatever you want to call it. For example, they said if I had:

Redirect "/" "https://subdomain1.mydomain.com/" and someone went to http://subdomain1.mydomain.com/test/example.html, it'd only redirect them to https://subdomain1.mydomain.com, and not https://subdomain1.mydomain.com/test/example.html.

I believe that statement is just incorrect and from what I've been reading, it will redirect them the stuff after the domain name, which would be wonderful!

I think so, you probably should try it first, but I don't see why it
wouldn't work.
"Redirect permanent / ..." might be interesting too if that's a
"definitive" redirect, so that browsers use "https:" directly for next
requests...

Yann.
