[PHPLondon-discuss] HTTPS redirects?

[Marcus Bointon]

A weird little problem I've run into. I have a login form that can be  
accessed via http or https. On a successful login, it redirects to an  
https address. However, if the page was originally http, the client  
just goes to the unsecured URL as if I had specified http in the  
redirect. For example, I put this at http://www.example.com/test.php:

<?php header("Location: https://www.example.com/login.php"); ?>

If I call that with 'curl -I', I can see that the URL returned in the  
location header is just http. What happened to my 's'?

Are you not allowed to redirect across protocols or something? Or am  
I going nuts?
