Any way to specify an HTTPS redirect using the redirect method from the url helper?

you can use:
Code:
header("Location: https://www.mysite.com/destination/")redirect() with HTTPS - El Forum - 11-14-2007

No support in the url helper though correct?

the URL helper bases its redirects off the site_url definied in your config.

Do a search for https. There are several solutions based on changes to the stock .htaccess file.

Esra, if I use an .htaccess file solution, do I need to also have a complete installation of CI in my https directory?
Thanks very much in advance for any info.

Update - I think I found the answer. I bought an SSL certificate and installed it on my site. My web host uses a symbolic link so the same folder can be used for http and for https. So now, if I use https:// in the URL, the page is secured.
