I like the idea of using https for the whole site, it would make configuration a lot easier, though there are A LOT of macro changes that would need to be made. But it brings some questions:
- suppose someone enters http://idocket.com
as the URL; how do I get that to auto-route to https://idocket.com
-- would that be a change in our DNS host config setting, or a web server config directive change?

As you can infer from the .asp, the https is hosted on a Windows server on our internal network.
Management wants to move the https from the Windows server onto our System I, and I'm all in on that. But it's been quite a long time (10 years?) and many OS releases since I've done that. Can someone point me to a guide that walks me thru getting that up and going?
