redirecting http to https

I want to know the best way to redirect http to https on one front end
server of my medium server farm which basically sits in the DMZ ?

How do you guys go about redirecting Sharepoint Users?

With a tool name ISAPI_Rewrite. Works great and is very flexible thanks
to regular expressions.

I usually just require HTTPS and modify the 403-4 error page to redirect to
HTTPS

I see what you are saying...I tried doing that but it won't work for me.

I think I have messed up either the script that I use or the location of the
script.

Can you provide me with the script that you use....I tried to modify my
exchange script but I think I didnt do it right.

Also where do you put the script , as a VD in the same website ?

You can just create a copy of the error page (the HTML page) and tell the
Virtual Server to use your new page instead of the default. You want to
keep the default page as is for other Virtual Servers to use.

I will look for the exact script but I think it was something like

<script language='javascript'>
window.location = 'newpage.html';
</script>

This is a great solution that I have used in the past as well. The only
problem can occur if the a firewall blocks access to port 80.
