Actually I want to force the https access of my context 1. I included ssl.conf in httpd.conf.
2. In ssl.conf, I enabled SSL and <VirtualHost _default_:*> ServerName my.domain.com:443 ...... </VirtualHost> 3. In my server.xml, the only connector loaded is a secure one. <Connector className="org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteConnector" port="8009" ...... redirectPort="8443" scheme="https" secure="true" ....../> I assume any http request will be automatically redirected as https to 8443. However, if I type http://my.domain.com/mycontext, apache gave me a "bad Request" page. Bad Request Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. Reason: You're speaking plain HTTP to an SSL-enabled server port. Instead use the HTTPS scheme to access this URL, please. Hint: https://my.domain.com/ Am I totally wrong? Any thought besides RedirectPermanent and the above no-user-friendly remind?

The above would be for all http requests. -MN -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tue, February 11, 2003 4:12 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: automatically redirect http to https in tomcat Is it possible to automatically redirect any http request to https in an Apache + Tomcat environment? For example, If I enter http://my.domain.com/mycontext <http://my.domain.com/mycontext> , I would be automatically redirected to https://my.domain.com/mycontext?
