How to do IIS SSL server redirects correctly? Is meta refresh needed?
- by Jesse
Hi all!
I think our backend programmer/server admin is handling our SSL redirects pretty wonky - see it in action here: www.mchenry.edu/parentorientation
First off, see how it redirects to
index2.asp? Is this necessary? Can't
she easily redirect to the original
index.asp but have it be https://
instead?
Also, she is using a meta refresh on
the original index.asp page to
redirect to index2.asp as well, and
she says this is for backup, in case
the server configs change and the
server can't handle the redirect so
then the webpage would take over.
Finally, she said she tried using
the server redirect solely but that
it kept looping on itself- what did
she do wrong? Is this even possible?
Is she giving us a snow job or what? I want a better understanding of what is happening here so I can talk to my boss about it, because this is driving me up the wall. Thanks for any info you can provide.
