Http to HTTPS

So this would mean that I would need to put a link on the
page to tell the client to go back to previous page from
https? I have seen pages on sites jump from https to http
without this. But I dont know how to do it.
The "refresh" in your meta does this have anything after
it to indicate the page to refresh to https. Never used
the code before.
Thanks

I don't know what you want to do exactly.

If users are following your links, then just code the links with the
appropriate protocol in mind, eg:

(to go to a secure page)
<a href="https://yoursite.com/somepage.htm">click here</a>

(to go to a non-secure page)
<a href="http://yoursite.com/somepage.htm">click here</a>

If the user has just typed in the URL, and they have used the wrong
procotol, then you need to redirect them somehow.
a) you can use a custom error page
b) you can use server-side code (eg ASP's Response.Redirect) which issues a
HTTP 302 Object Moved header to the client telling the client to issue a new
request
c) you can use client-side javascript to do a redirect
d) you can use a client-side <meta
http-equiv="refresh;URL=https://yousite.com/somepage.htm"> type link. Use
google.com to find out how to use this tag

So, somehow you are going to have to do a redirect if the user has come
directly to this page using the wrong protocol (eg using HTTP when you want
HTTPS).

Cheers
Ken

Ok Ken this was very helpful thank you.

Here is what was happening.
I was using the 403 redirect error and it did a fine job.
but if the client clicked from that page to another the
whole site would be viewed in HTTPS it would never go back
to http (causing errors on certain pages). So I was asking
how to make this one page or any one page I chose to be
able to switch from HTTP to HTTPS and then back to HTTP
after the HTTPS page had been viewed. No matter which link
they clicked on. It seems to me that I need to use the
refresh option here. Because of the redirect is on the
page itself. no matter where I come from to access the
page it will redirect me to the protocol i am looking for.
Thanks
Joseph

On the HTTPS secured page, just make all the links to other pages full URLs
including the procotol, eg:

<a href="http://yourSite.com/anyOtherPage.asp">click here to leave the
secure page</a>

Ken

Ken,
I use frontpage and you cannot do this with the navigation
structure it is already set. Also this code below; where
do you paste it? I understand to make the URL my page
name. If you are suggesting to add this to a navigation
link in the navigation structure it (asI know) cannot be
done unless I remove the navigation buttons on this page
and add my own to the HTTP home page or a way to get back
to HTTP
Thanks
Joseph
