http and https on same website
I am running windows 2000 advanced server, with a ssl certificate on one of our websites. SSL appears to be working fine.
I am also running a php script (Oscommerce) that has both 'http' and 'https' links. When I enable SSL on my website, ALL of the URLS need to start with https, so the http links don't work. Also, my customers won't know to enter the 's' in front of the http, so that is a bad thing too.
So my question is, is it possible to have both http and https enabled on the same website? or do I have to have a workaround (Subdomains???)
TIA

Well, it seems that if I disable the "Enable SSL" in the Web Properties on Information Services, both http and httpS URLS work.
I was under the assumption that you need to check this option for the SSL to kick in and work. I guess all it does is make ALL the URLS secure.
Thank you for your help

Yes, you can run both on the same server, http://www.iisfaq.com/?View=A407&Print=1
Typically you'd make a link to the "Secure" version of the site on the "un-secure" site, BUT with IIS I think you have to have a SECOND IP address to use... remember you need a second IP address for using an SSL (aka httpS) site. A Vhost will not use SSL.

This little piece of vb code accomplishes both. All you have to do is copy this code into notepad and save it as an asp page in your default directory for the site you're working with, then enable it as the default document. This obviously prevents you from running anything else on the default web site...

If Request.ServerVariables("S
Dim strSecureStr
strSecureURL = "https://"
strSecureURL = strSecureURL & "mail.domain.com"
strSecureURL = strSecureURL & "/exchange"
Response.Redirect strSecureURL
End If
%>
This code will basically take anything that comes in on port 80 OR port 443 and redirect it to https:// AND /exchange. If you're not redirecting to a virtual directory you'd just take that line out, and it would redirect anything coming in on 80 or 443 to httpS/.

yes it is possible, because in default environment
http uses 80 port and https use 443; go harvest you IIS options
anyway, if you cannot run it together you can do such a trick
make a web site, http running on 80 and name it mysite.com
after a user connects to it , redirect it to https://secure.mysite.com
