Allow users to set up http to https forward

[Kiekeboe100]

Hi,

Maybe I missed it, but I think there is no easy way for end-users to set up http to https redirection.

I think it would be nice if this would be an option that users could check in the domain config (and subdomain configs).

regards,
Stijn

In Domain Setup, at user level, you have:
private_html setup for DOMAIN - (SSL must be enabled above)
[] Use a directory named private_html
[] Use a symbolic link from private_html to public_html - allows for same data in http and https

But i agree, a redirect in some cases would be better, so i agree with the request.

The current feature allows for users to mirror http and https data, this feature basically would "force" visits to go to https if they go to http, great feature request specially with let's encrypt support out of the door.

I don't see the need for this, because it is so easy to add the three lines to .htaccess in public_html:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

Yes no one is saying is no easy to do but the world is quite full of people that doesn'èt know this stuff (i'm talking about very low-tech-level people) that would like to have the website always and just secured but dont know how do do it, a web gui way to do that will make their life easier.

TBH, if you run a website, you should really know how one is run.. We all started somewhere, that's true, but these days, you need to be vigilant with public information, now that even the top companies can't even secure their data.

I still find old Wordpress installs on our servers.


(My 2p's worth)....

Well i know how to do, but trust me.. i got customers that dont know how install Wordpress at all for example.. and some doesnt know how to install SSL cert also if there is a GUI for that

It's not mandatory, of course, i wouldn't need that for myself, but it can be useful to have for customers, less work for me if they can do that by themself

As Andrea guided me to install first time ssl cert by myself, i highly appreciate his opinion and find it also a good idea to shorten up learning time and usability together
