redirect() with HTTPS

[eluser]europe72[/eluser]
Any way to specify an HTTPS redirect using the redirect method from the url helper?

[eluser]Pygon[/eluser]
you can use:

Code:

header("Location: https://www.mysite.com/destination/")

No support in the url helper though correct?

[eluser]Pygon[/eluser]
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.
