client-side code to require ssl

[v_roma]

Hi everyone, I am looking for a way to require (redirect) users to access the
page they are on via SSL. The reason why I want to do this on the client-side
is because I don't have access to the server and also because I want to have
portions of the web site that do not require secure access. Is there a way to
do this through the application template? I am using CF 5, by the way. Thanks
much, v_roma

How about putting this on pages that require SSL:

<!--- If not in a https --->
<cfif CGI.HTTPS EQ "off">
<!--- Send it to the https --->
<cflocation addtoken="no" url="https://#CGI.SERVER_NAME##CGI.SCRIPT_NAME#">
</cfif>

And this on pages that do not require SSl:

<!--- If this page is in a https --->
<cfif CGI.HTTPS EQ "on">
<!--- Get it out of the https --->
<cflocation addtoken="no" url="http://#CGI.SERVER_NAME##CGI.SCRIPT_NAME#">
</cfif>

Thanks a lot, I'll give it a try. And what if I wanted to force https on a whole directory, could I use the application template? If so, how.

you'd have to tack on a '?' and #CGI.QUERY_STRING#

Thanks. I actually just came across the following code: <CFIF CGI.SERVER_PORT
eq '80'> <CFIF CGI.QUERY_STRING eq ''> <CFSET variables.query = ''> <cfelse>
<CFSET variables.query = '?#CGI.QUERY_STRING#'> </CFIF> <CFLOCATION
url='https://#CGI.SERVER_NAME##CGI.SCRIPT_NAME##variables.query #'
addtoken='no'> <CFABORT> </CFIF> which, when added to the application page,
redirects users to https for all pages under that application template.
