Use JavaScript to force URL redirect to HTTPS

The function below checks the current URL and if it is HTTP, it will force change to HTTPS.

function checkRedirect() {

console.debug("checkRedirect");

var protocol = window.location.protocol;

console.debug("checkRedirect: current protocol is ", protocol);

if (protocol == "http:") {

var newUrl = "https://" + window.location.hostname + "/" + window.location.pathname;

console.debug("checkRedirect: redirect page to ", newUrl);

window.location = newUrl;

console.debug("HTTPS redirect is disabled");

}

}
