I also like the version suggested by Sangam. document.location is now deprecated and it is suggested to use window.location which is more portable.

Sangam’s function works a little better for me in an app that has session IDs – it redirects and keeps the session. I don’t know why Amit’s initial script didn’t. Maybe –

“https://secure.you.tld” + document.location.pathname

doesn’t redirect the entire URL.

Thanks,
SM

function redirectSecure()
{
if (document.location.protocol != “https:”){
var oldURL = window.location.hostname + window.location.pathname+window.location.search;
var newURL = “https://” + oldURL;
window.location = newURL;
}
}
redirectSecure();

Thanks! This is just the code snippet I needed.
