Modify web server configuration files to ensure that all browser requests are automatically redirected to HTTPS.
- [Instructor] In the last couple of chapters,…we talked about how to install an SSL certificate…so that it's there and up and running.…Now we need to talk about…how we make a few more configurations…to really get HTTPS in the state that we want it…and the first and most important thing…is we wanna redirect requests that come in over HTTP,…that is insecure requests,…we wanna redirect those to HTTPS.…By default when you type a URL in your browser…and you type http://…that's gonna send that request to port 80.…
That's the standard web port that most web browsers use…and we saw that when we were looking…at the configuration files in the last chapter…that the configuration was listening on port 80.…You may have noticed that when we implemented SSL,…we did it on port 443.…That's the default for these secure requests.…It keeps them separate.…So insecure requests come in on port 80,…secure requests come in on port 443.…So if you type https,…it's gonna send that request to port 443.…What we need to do now is redirect all requests…
