How do I display https instead of http in url bar after using SSL on my site

Question

I have SSL on my website but in the top URL bar still only says http:// not https:// .

I am using the Satchmo system with a Django Python stack for my website. Does anyone have some insight to this?

Answer 1

Whatever the web-server being used, you need to tell the client to go to your secure ( https ) site.

They are different protocols, http and https . If you want the client's browser to use the https version of your website you will need to issue a redirect. eg:

GET http://stackoverflow.com HTTP/1.1


HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Location: https://stackoverflow.com

You'll have to find the mechanism in your web-server code to trigger a redirect.

Answer 2

Figured it out. in my httpd.conf file i added this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-SSL} !on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/about-us
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/
RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]

where "about-us" was is the url of the page you want to display https
