How do I stop somebody using http:// instead of https:// ? They both access the same page.

Should I use HTTP or HTTPS?

I used to run a booking system for the Sailing club boat using HTTP, now everybody used HTTPS.

http://www.dougrice.plus.com/gbbook/calendar/bookingDemo.htm
https://homepages.plus.net/dougrice/gbbook/calendar/bookingDemo.htm

These point to the same place, and point to the same file on the server.

My question. How do I stop somebody using http:// instead of https:// ?

They both access the same file on the server.

Is this a miss understanding?

You do not need to login at the moment.

NOTE:-

Plusnet do not support SSL for cross-site pages, so my web booking system does not work over https as it includes dynamic content via a JavaScript file from the ccgi.dougrice.plus.com

<!--
	<script src="http://ccgi.dougrice.plus.com/gb/gbookFDemoBookings.js" language="JavaScript"> </script>
	-->

	<script>
	now = new Date()
	/* try some cache busting append the time to the URL to make it different, so the URL is not cached. */
	self.document.write( '<scr'+'ipt src=http://ccgi.dougrice.plus.com/gb/gbookFDemoBookings.js?'+now.getTime()+' language="JavaScript"> </scr'+'ipt>' )

	</script>

If you have access you can do this using your Apache httpd.conf file for VirtualHost *:80 and set a permanent redirect thus:

Redirect permanent / https://yourdomain
