Jolly Good question that, one I have just these last few weeks had to tackle. I searched around a bit on the subject and came up with a few articles - none of which really did exactly what I wanted, and I figured it just had to be easy than this.
So in my webroot htaccess I added the following two lines to do most of the magic for me (this is not complete but these are the lines that do it): RewriteRule ^secure/(.*)$ https://domain.com/$1 [QSA,L] RewriteRule ^ns/(.*)$ http://domain.com/$1 [QSA,L] When I want to go to a secure econnection I call my link http://domain.com/secure/controller/action and I get redirected to the HTTPS connection https://domain.com/controller/action and to get back to HTTP I call https://domain.com/ns/controller/action and I get redirected to the HTTP connection http://domain.com/controller/action then in my controller beforeFilter, actions or in my app_controller I can enforce this by doing: if (!env("HTTPS")) { $this->redirect('secure/controller/action'); } Like I said, this may not be the "best practice" way to do it, but to me it did it good enough given the situation I was addressing. Criticism and feedback most welcome. Hope its helpful to you. websta* -----Original Message----- From: cake-php@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 20 April 2007 11:51 a.m. To: Cake PHP Subject: Silly HTTPS quesiton...
