not 100% sure, but I think the problem may be that with cflocation,
server sie, the browser is not able to do the SSL handshake so you get
the page cannot be displayed - a good thing in this new CrossSite
scripting world.
You could set up the http to https redirects in IIS, but it sounds
like you are trying to do this at the file level. What a bout
javascript - not normally a good idea to use something that relies on
the browser to re-direct, but here goes.
In your cf code, if not ssl, send a javascript redirect back to
browser, otherwise process as normal
if (location.protocol != 'https:')
{
//may need to tweak a bit to get query_string
window.location = 'https://'+ location.host + location.pathname +
location.search;
}
This will work fine for links, but will kill form posts. To preserve
form vars, before you send the js back to the browser, copy the form
scope into the session. On page load after redirect, if
session.savedformscope exists, cfloop collection from
session.savedformscope to form scope. CF will not let you duplicate
session.savedformscope over form scope, but it will let you
dynamically add or update form keys.
If you want to do it all in IIS, try this link;
http://weblogs.asp.net/pwilson/archive/2004/12/23/331455.aspx
unfortunately IIS
will let you redirect from http://www.site1.com to https://www.site2.com
but not http://www.site1.com to https://www.site1.com - the protocol
shift confuses it <grin>
There are also ASP redirect tricks you can do as well that replace the
403.4 error page.
If you do a permanent redirect in IIS, make sure your redirect url is
https://www.mysite.com$S$Q - this captures path and querystring for
you.
HTH.
