http to htts

Instead of doing a, imo, ugly work around I would recommend that you use a .htaccess to redirect all HTTP requests to HTTPS.

You should not need to do anything else in CodeIgniter. However, don't forget to load any external assets (css, js and more) over HTTPS, or they will not load.

Here is all code you need in the .htaccess file

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
