How do you forward http request to a https url

Question

Like the question says, if I have a request for a page on my site like this

http://somename.something.here/Dada.aspx

to something like this

https://somename.something.here/Dada.aspx

Answer 1

I prefer to (a) not redirect local connections (to ease development under VS), and (b) use a UriBuilder instead of a string.Replace as it's a bit more exact.

if (!Request.IsLocal && !Request.IsSecureConnection) {
    var ub = new UriBuilder(Request.Url);
    ub.Scheme = Uri.UriSchemeHttps;
    ub.Port = -1; // use default port for scheme
    Response.Redirect(ub.Uri.AbsoluteUri, true);
    return;
}
