I have a web application that requires SSL. I've successfully
configured a CoyoteConnector on 443 with SSL, and things work
wonderfully.
My problem is that sometimes, access to the application is attempted at
http://1.2.3.4:443
instead of
https://1.2.3.4:443 (or https://1.2.3.4)
When you try to access the application with http instead of https you
simply get a bunch of garbage characters returned. I assume that these
characters are the beginning of the SSL handshake which is never going
to be completed.
Is there any way for me to redirect the http requests to their https
equivalents? Tomcat seems to be taking over the whole ssl handshake so
that I can't step in and try to save the situation before it fails.
Any ideas on what I can do? Unfortunately, educating my users is not
an option because it is not stupid people that are causing the
problem, but rather a poorly written applet that I have no control
over.
