[FX.php List] [OFF] Rewrite for forcing http to https possible?

[Bob Patin]

Tim,

Is there a compelling reason why that's a better method? Since the  
redirect happens immediately, there isn't any security issue there, is  
there?

Just wondering... always willing to learn a better way to do  
things... :)
