Re:http to https redirect problem



Found the following which solved this (from http://www.tech-archive.
net/Archive/Windows/microsoft.public.windows.server.general/2005-06/msg01530.
html) (thanks tom of the east):

Solution (via MSFT support):

1) Check logs to see which error message is being created. In fact, it
appears to be 403.6 and not 403. However, if, in I.E., the user has selected
"Show friendly HTTP error messages" (Tools->Internet
Options->Advanced->Browsing) he will see the local 403.htm file mentioned
below. So, make sure that the error you see in your client is not really
something else in the logs (hey, that's helpful...)

On the server side, create a replacement error message at the root level of
the website. Then, in the admin interface of IIS, select Custom Errors ->
error 403;6. Select "Edit" and then "Url" and point at the replacement error
message thus:

\replacement.htm

There is an Alternative workaround:

Make the 403.htm error file on the server [C:\WINDOWS\Help\iisHelp\common]
larger than 2K. If it is larger than 2K and if you have selected it as a
custom error file, it will take over and override whatever setting the user
has entered in I.E. Advanced preferences.

Bizarre, but true.

Firefox/Mozilla/Netscape browsers have none to these issues.
