Hello everybody, i’m using ruby 1.8.6 and rails 1.1.6 for my web app.
Any particular reason you’re using a 7-year-old version of Rails? You’d be seriously helped by upgrading to something more modern.
My app is accessible both in http and https but i would like to enforce https only even when the user try to access using http only.
I tried a lot of solutions posted over the web but none worked for my rails version (which is very old, I know)
What could I do in order to achieve it? Is there any effective solution that can be used with my rails version?
The old ssl_requirement gem is roughly of the same vintage, so it might do what you want:
But seriously, you’re going to spend more time struggling with 1.1.6 than you’ll save by not rewriting for a more modern version. For instance, a lot of the blog posts that were helpful back then aren’t even around anymore, as people move blog hosts + lose content.
