Author forcing browsers to SSL

Hi,

I'd like to setup IIS so that when users go to the urls:

http://www.webserver.com
http://webserver.com
http://webserver.com/*


it automatically forces them to SSL, i.e.:

https://www.webserver.com

It'd be nice if this was done without a redirect script and was a
function/feature in IIS.

Thanks for any help,

panic

You are switching from one protocol (HTTP) to a completely different
protocol (HTTPS). I'm not entirely sure how you're going to do that without
using a redirect script.

Cheers
Ken

Why dont't you use "A redirection to a URL" feature on the [properties ->
home directory tab] of your default web page?
