Capture Url & redirect 1

[thendal]

Hi all!

I am having site

https://www.example.com/cgi-bin/index.pl

which is secured. But people can make it unsecured when they change the url to

http://www.example.com/cgi-bin/index.pl.

The server has also 80 port opened for some other application running in the same machine needs port 80 ..as it can't work on secure site. My question

if a user types

http://www.example.com/cgi-bin/index.pl

i have to redirect to

https://www.example.com/cgi-bin/index.pl

...

what will be best option to solve this problem...any insight will be much appreciated.

Thank you.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI;
$q=new CGI;
print $q->redirect("

https://secureddomain.com/cgi-bin/index.pl");

Thanks paul, I am looking how to capture the url of the webpage that is been used.

I have to see whether its a htttp request or https request..
is there a environmental variable to find this ....?

if its http request then i have to redirect as https request.

Forcing the user to use only https request.

Thank you.

I personally wouldn't use the same script in the same location.

I think what you're looking for is $ENV{'REQUEST_URI'}, also to see what page referred it, $ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'}
