Redirect webGUI to https
-
HI!
i did change my webinterface to https which works well but i would also like to have a redirect of the http to the https like.http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,6215.msg35975.html
http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,8999.msg50845.htmlwanted to do.
After some research i found that the used webserver is lighttpd and as i know from apache there are some rewrite modules.
So after some searching with an searchengine i found a solution on http://redmine.lighttpd.net/wiki/1/HowToRedirectHttpToHttps .As in the /etc/inc/system.inc is a if for the captive portal i thought perhabs someone could implement an checkbox under the https radiobutton? and implement the http redirect for the ip/hostname of the machine?
Only problem for now i haven't come behind yet is, how to get lighttpd to listen on the 80 port and the 443 at the same time.
Some hints perhabs?

This is done now out of the box on 2.0. You could look a the commit history and see how it was done, but as I recall it involved including an extra lighttpd module for redirect.

yes the redirect mod.
would you have a link to the history?or when approx will the 2.0 be released?

The link to the binary would be useless since 2.0 uses a different version of lighttpd than 1.2.3. You'd have to find the source for the version used in 1.2.3 and compile it by hand.
2.0 is still a long ways off. It's in beta now, but there are quite a few things that need fixing and testing before it will be release quality.

thanks for the information:)
after reading and researching i guess i will wait till 2.0 because with self compiling i haven't much experience
