https redirect without refresh

[Nizar KHEIR <nizar_kheir@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello every body,

i have a question about redirecting the apache server from http to https dynamically. In fact, i proceed with the modification of the apache2.conf file, and i force reload the server each time i want to redirect from http to https or vice versa (sure after commenting/decommenting lines in apache2.conf). I have my apache server configured with php module. And i am using my server as a webmail server by adding squirrelmail.

Once i am connected through squirrelmail, and i want to switch from http to https or vice versa, the switching doesn't take place until i refresh the page, however, as long as i am navigating through the same "squirrelmail.php" dynamic page, my server always runs with http. So is their a way to redirect from http to https (or vice versa) without having each time to ask users to refresh their pages ??? 

 

my apache2.conf holds the lines below:

 

<VirtualHost *:80>

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !^on $ [NC]

RewriteRule .https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L]

</IfModule>

Alias /squirrelmail /var/www/squirrelmail

<Directory /var/www/squirrelmail>

  ....

</Directory>

 

To redirect to https, i comment the code between the IfModule brackets.

the 443 virtual host is unchanged (for an http -> https redirection), and i have no problem when using https or http alone (without redirection), that's mean that i have no errors of configuration at this level.

 

Hint: i have no problem with the redirection itself because when i refresh the page, the redirection takes place, but what i need is a redirection when clicking on anything in the dynamic page, not necessarly refreshing the page, because as you know, anytime we click on a link within the dynamic php page,  new request is generated to the server, so theoretically, it must lead to a redirection, so why this redirection does not take place only if i refresh the page ????

 

thanks for your help;
