Re: Force HTTPS to forward to HTTP?

Is there any reason why you don't want the users using HTTPS?

But if you really need to do this, can't you use a HTTP module or otherwise put some code into your pages, that perform the redirect for you?

I'm struggling to think of any native IIS functionality that does this, so i think you need to do it in your application.

Cheers

Hello All,

Is there an easy way to prevent people from accessing certain pages via
HTTPS? Basically google is indexing some pages via HTTPS, and we'd just like
to forward people to the HTTP version if they happen to accidentally land on
an HTTPS version.

My first thought was to just setup a second site in IIS, and to make that
one only HTTPS and set it up just to be a forwarding site. Then I'd remove
the SSL port from the main site in IIS and all would be good! The only
problem with that is that there are some pages we need HTTPS for in the main
site, so I can't really just disable SSL on that site altogether.

So, any ideas out there? It seems that it should be simple, but I'm banging
my head against a wall here.

Thanks in advance!
Brian
