If you have installed the HS module, you can redirect HTTP connections to HTTPS in the HTTP/S Settings dialog box on the Connections tab of the Site. The HTTP engine listens to a specified port (default 80) even when OFF; all traffic is redirected to the HTTPS port on the same host (using HTTP header), by responding with a redirect.
To activate this feature prior to version 5.1 or if your HS module has expired, create the following key:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\GlobalSCAPE Inc.\EFT Server 3.0\RedirectHTTPtoHTTPS"
(DWORD; non-zero means all traffic coming to HTTP port will be redirected to HTTPS port using HTTP protocol (header redirection).

The HTTP port will be LISTENING even if the check box is OFF for that protocol, including through DMZ Gateway. The connecting client might receive the 302 status/error code, which means the connection was moved. |
