i've got my app running on a dedicted linux box running lighttpd.
i have an ssl certificate installed and if i go to https://mysite.com
then i get to view the site over a secure connection as expected.however, if the user just enters www.mysite.com then the browser will
use http: by default instead of https:.does anyone know how to force connections to use https, or how to
redirect urls with http: to their https: equivalent?
Somewhere within the 'request' object there's got to be a protocol attribute. If that's not "https" then redirect them. You could do this check as a before_filter in application.rb to cover all your bases.
