HTTP to HTTPS Redirect

(QW.HTTPtoHTTPSRedirect)

Overview

This is a private feature developed by Qwilt.

If you want to block your site from being accessed over HTTP, you can configure an HTTP to HTTPS Redirect to force the CDN to redirect HTTP requests to HTTPs. The configuration also sets the response code.

Example

This example forces an HTTP to HTTPS redirect with status code 301.

{
  "generic-metadata-type": "MI.PrivateFeature.Qwilt.QW.HTTPtoHTTPSRedirect",
  "generic-metadata-value": {
    "allow-redirect": true,
    "redirect-code": "301"
  }
}

Supported Properties

Field	Valid Values	Description
allow-redirect	true, false	Enables or disables the redirect.
redirect-code	301, 302, 307, 308	A string specifying the HTTP status code for the redirect. Required if allow-redirect is true.

Supported Status Code Descriptions

Status Code	Description
301	Permanent redirect that tells the client the resource is permanently moved to the new HTTPS URL. This is the default status code value.
302	Temporary redirect that tells the client the resource is temporarily located at the new HTTPs URL.
307	Temporary redirect that also ensures that the HTTP method and body remain unchanged in the redirected request. Use this code when it's critical to maintain the original request method and body (such as for POST requests).
308	Permanent redirect that also ensures that the HTTP method and body remain unchanged in the redirected request. Use this code when it's critical to maintain the original request method and body (such as for POST requests).
