Greetings, I'm having some difficulty with redirects on a new Tomcat setup I'm working on, hoping I can find some help here on what I'm missing.
As you can see below, I have setup a redirect from port 8080 to 8443. When I load the hostname or localhost of the server on http://localhost.mydomain.ad:8080 I get redirected to https://localhost.mydomain.ad:8443, great. However I have another A record defined for this host which I have under the alias tag below (dev.registration.mydomain.ca). When I load https://dev.registration.mydomain.ca:8443 everything works fine, but if I load http://dev.registration.mydomain.ca:8080 I get redirected to https://dev.registration.mydomain.ca:8080 which obviously doesn't work since the port didn't change... Why is this working with the localhost but not with the A record I entered? I feel like I'm missing something obvious, and maybe I'm not asking Google the right questions, any advice would be welcome!
