403.4 won't redirect in IE7
- by Jeremy Morgan
I have a secured folder that requires SSL. I have set it up in IIS(6) to require SSL. We don't want the visitors to be greeted with the "must be secure connection" error, so I have modified the 403.4 error page to contain the following:
function redirectToHttps() {
var httpURL = window.location.hostname+window.location.pathname;
var httpsURL = "https://" + httpURL ;
window.location = httpsURL ;
}
redirectToHttps();
And this solution works great for every browser, but IE7. On any other browser, if you type in http://www.mysite.com/securedfolder it will automatically redirect you to https://www.mysite.com/securedfolder with no message or anything (the intended action). But in Internet Explorer 7 ONLY it will bring up a page that says
The website declined to show this webpage
Most Likely Causes:
This website requires you to log in
This is something we don't want of course. I have verified that javascript is enabled, and the security settings have no effect, even when I set them to the lowest level I get the same error.
I'm wondering, has anyone else seen this before?
