Thanks for the help - the asp redirector page works great. However,
Concerning question 1 - When I setup SSL required on VDir, it STILL allows
me to
enter the site as either http or https. But, when I set SSL required on the
Default web site (the parent of the VDir), It works as expected and I get a
SSL required error when trying to enter as http. Why cant I just set SSL
required on my VDir instesad of the parent???
