Forcing urls to use https
5th February 2010 by Chris
I found this extremely useful:
1 2 3 |
def redirect_to_ssl redirect_to url_for params.merge({:protocol => 'https://'}) unless request.ssl? end |
Put this in your application controller and call
before_filter :redirect_to_ssl |
on every controller that would require ssl. You can pick which actions would only require this by extending your before_filter declaration as such:
before_filter :redirect_to_ssl, :only => [:new, :purchase] |
or even by exclusion, whichever is more convenient for your case:
before_filter :redirect_to_ssl, :except => [:show] |
PS: There are other resources too, such as this one (that could be of help): http://fuadcse.blogspot.com/2009/01/redirecting-http-request-to-https-in.html
