CodeIgniter-SSLHook - Appropriate headers and redirection for SSL websites - mehdibo - 04-13-2018
This hook will force users to use your HTTPS version of the website, it will also set some extra headers.

It's my opinion that the application layer is the wrong time to redirect users to HTTPS. Apache makes it extremely easy to do this kind of redirect:
Either this:
Code:
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]or I'd usually use this:
Code:
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]RE: CodeIgniter-SSLHook - Appropriate headers and redirection for SSL websites - mehdibo - 04-14-2018

I agree actually, it'll be faster if you redirect using .htaccess and even the headers can be set there but... I already made it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
