Force HTTP to HTTPS in Yaws

[Kimmo Gläborg]

Hi all,

I'm new to the Erlang community and more from a systems administrative  
background
rather than the programming side. Not sure if this would be the right  
place to post the
question but let's see :)

How can I configure Yaws to force https? Like I would like any user  
that loads the
site in http, to be redirected to https.

(I already have the https environment running & working).

Regards

Kimmo Gläborg

One way of doing it would be to change your yaws.conf file to have two
docroot directories. One for http and the other one for https.
https-docroot would be the one you are currently using. http-docroot
would contain index.yaws file only which would always redirect to
https. It could look like this (listing of index.yaws):

<erl>
out(A) ->
    {redirect,"https://localhost/"}.
</erl>

Change the above with your domain. This will however break any
functionality that was available through http.

Hope this helps,
Michal

Thanks Michal! I probably would like to keep the http environment  
working aswell.
Isn't there a way to configure this in the Yaws config environment? (I  
believe this is
just a setting, both in IIS and Apache for example..)

its pretty easy to get it going the way you want here is https redirect
i wrote once

%%%http_redirect.erl%%%-----------------------------------------------------
- -module(http_redirect).

- -include("/usr/local/lib/yaws/include/yaws_api.hrl").
- -export([out/1]).

~    Path = Args#arg.server_path,
~    Redirect = lists:append("https://www.YOURDOMAINHERE.com", Path),
~    {redirect, Redirect}.


%%%yaws.conf-------------------------------------------------------
.....
<server redirect>
~        port = 80
~        listen = 0.0.0.0
~        appmods = <"/", http_redirect>
~        docroot = /usr/local/var/yaws/ebin
</server>
.....
