httpsRedirect

TS JS

Redirects the page to HTTPS if its currently in HTTP. Also, pressing the back button doesn't take it back to the HTTP page as its replaced in the history.

Use location.protocol to get the protocol currently being used. If it's not HTTPS, use location.replace() to replace the existing page with the HTTPS version of the page. Use location.href to get the full address, split it with String.prototype.split() and remove the protocol part of the URL.

typescript
const httpsRedirect = () => {
if (location.protocol !== "https:")
location.replace("https://" + location.href.split("//")[1]);
};
typescript
httpsRedirect(); // If you are on http://mydomain.com, you are redirected to https://mydomain.com
