Hi guys,
i have a problem with https on tomcat5: accessing http://localhost:8080 works fine, using http://localhost:8080 prompts me a download of a crypted file ?! Instead, I want to have some kind of redirection to https - how do you do this?
Thanks for answers,
regards Hans


Hi

In short: the server can't magically know if your browser is speaking SSL or HTTP. You need to have two ports open, one for 'http' (i.e. 8080) and one for 'https' (8181 or whatever), which the server will decide on, if it's encrypted or not.
