Turning HTTP calls into HTTPS connections??

How do I redirect an HTTP call on a page to an HTTPS connection?

Right now, a user can establish a connection on my web page through either port 80 or port 443. So:

http://www.something.com/dir/

and

https://www.something.com/dir/

both work.

What I want is when a client looks for http://www.something.com/dir/ they get redirected to https://www.something.com/dir/

I tried:

Redirect /dir https://www.something.com/dir

But that didn't work.

Any help would be mucho appreciated.

thanks,

Do you want just /dir or the entire site? If just /dir, how many dir?

Just /dir and any files within that directory.

Put the following within your port 80's www.something.com <VirtualHost>.
For example:

NameVirtualHost *

<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot "/www/htdocs"
ServerName www.something.com
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/dir(.*)
RewriteRule ^/icons/(.+) - [PT,L]
RewriteRule ^/dir(.*) https://www.something.com/dir$1 [R,L]
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *>
...
another domain here
...
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost _default_:443>
...
...
</VirtualHost>
