[erlang-questions] Force HTTP to HTTPS in Yaws

[Michal Slaski]

Hi Kimmo,

One way of doing it would be to change your yaws.conf file to have two
docroot directories. One for http and the other one for https.
https-docroot would be the one you are currently using. http-docroot
would contain index.yaws file only which would always redirect to
https. It could look like this (listing of index.yaws):

<erl>
out(A) ->
    {redirect,"https://localhost/"}.
</erl>

Change the above with your domain. This will however break any
functionality that was available through http.

Hope this helps,
Michal
