Hi, I found a working solution to change http to https with the code. A htaccess solution with multiple websites has proven to be complicated.
I cant get the below code (search function code below cant work with the code in the Appcontroller)for all of my controllers. The problem is that I have some search functions that call the function again with parameters. Using the below code with initialize means the search function I use no longer works. Is there a way to place the same code for the httpds redirect in the appcontroller not in the initialize function?
//search controller which no longer works with htttps request from ap controller
if (($this->request->is('post') || $this->request->is('put'))) {
// debug( $this->request->data);
if (isset($this->request->data['searchFilter'])) {
$filter_url['controller'] = $this->request->params['controller'];
$filter_url['action'] = $this->request->params['action'];
$filter_url['page'] = 1;
// for each filter we will add a GET parameter for the generated url
foreach($this->request->data as $name => $value){
if($value){
$filter_url[$name] = urlencode($value);
}
}
//Post params are now GET paramaters
return $this->redirect($filter_url); //this no longer works with the appcontroller redirect
}//isset filter
}//post
…
//app controller
public function initialize()
{
parent::initialize();
$this->loadComponent('Security', ['blackHoleCallback' => 'forceSSL']);
}
public function beforeFilter(Event $event)
{
$this->Security->requireSecure();
}
public function forceSSL()
{
return $this->redirect('https://' . env('SERVER_NAME') . $this->request->getRequestTarget());
}
