Hi - I am still struggling can not make a server side redirect happen
from https to http.
I tried George's and also Toni's suggestion (see below). I always end up
on a https page again. Could it be something that the ISP enforces? In
the browser, I can follow links from https to http pages but the (server
side) redirect from https to http after successful login just simply
does not work for me - always stays in https!
After reading
http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/aspfaq...Q.asp?FAQID=72 (ADPFAQs.com)
and
http://www.somacon.com/p145.php (Permanent Redirect with HTTP 301)
Here is my final code - I also made sure not have ANY output before I
call the page. However some session variables are written (these are
needed to identify the user once he is logged on)
Function redirectNoSSL(sUrl)
Dim sNewURL
sNewURL = stripSSL(sUrl)
If Response.Buffer=True then
Response.Clear
Response.Buffer=False
End If
'Call Response.Redirect(sNewURL)
' instead of redirect!
Response.Status = "301 Moved Permanently"
Call Response.AddHeader ("Location", sNewURL)
End Function
(stripSSL works fine it just rewrites the (complete) passedf URL with
http: instead of https
any other suggestions.
