All good solutions, however how do you turn it off if you don't need it anymore. I was wondering if there wasa  robots.txt file or something like that you can use to define what files have to be https.

Not sure why you'd want to "turn it off" but

You'd just add to whatever pages you want to encrypt

<cfset serverPort = "#cgi.SERVER_PORT#">
<cfif serverPort NEQ 443>
<!--- Goto HTTPS --->
<cflocation url="https://www.someco.com#cgi.SCRIPT_NAME##cgi.PATH_INFO#" addtoken="false">
<cfelse>
<!--- Already There - Do Nothing --->
You're at : https://www.someco.com#cgi.SCRIPT_NAME##cgi.PATH_INFO#
</cfif>    

If you want to "turn It off" you could just change the NEQ to EQ

<cfset serverPort = "#cgi.SERVER_PORT#">
<cfif serverPort EQ 443>
<!--- Goto HTTP --->
<cflocation url="http://www.someco.com#cgi.SCRIPT_NAME##cgi.PATH_INFO#" addtoken="false">
<cfelse>
<!--- Already There - Do Nothing --->
You're at : http://www.someco.com#cgi.SCRIPT_NAME##cgi.PATH_INFO#
</cfif>    

you could also use both and set a var in application.cfm

<cflock scope="application" type="exclusive" timeout="30">
<cfset application.UseSecure = true>


then on each page to be secured (or not)
<cfif application.UseSecure eq true>
<cfset serverPort = "#cgi.SERVER_PORT#">
<cfif serverPort NEQ 443>
<!--- Goto HTTPS --->
<cflocation url="https://www.someco.com#cgi.SCRIPT_NAME##cgi.PATH_INFO#" addtoken="false">
<cfelse>
<!--- Already There - Do Nothing --->
You're at : https://www.someco.com#cgi.SCRIPT_NAME##cgi.PATH_INFO#
</cfif>    

<cfelse>
<cfset serverPort = "#cgi.SERVER_PORT#">
<cfif serverPort EQ 443>
<!--- Goto HTTP --->
<cflocation url="http://www.someco.com#cgi.SCRIPT_NAME##cgi.PATH_INFO#" addtoken="false">
<cfelse>
<!--- Already There - Do Nothing --->
You're at : http://www.someco.com#cgi.SCRIPT_NAME##cgi.PATH_INFO#
</cfif>    



</cfif>

It's not working for me. I have this in the application.cfc

<cffunction name="onApplicationStart" output="false" returntype="void">
            <!--- DSN (datasource name) --->
            <cfset application.dsName = "ASA">
            <!--- Datasource user name --->
            <cfset application.dsUserName = "">
            <!--- Datasource password --->
            <cfset application.dsPassword = "">
            <cfset application.UseSecure = true>

I get the error:

Error Occurred While Processing Request  
Element USESECURE is undefined in APPLICATION.  
 
 
The error occurred in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\fap\forms\forms_bsummary.cfm: line 6

4 : </cfif>
5 :
6 : <cfif application.UseSecure eq true>
7 : <cfset serverPort = "#cgi.SERVER_PORT#">
8 : <cfif serverPort NEQ 443>

 
 

try restarting the server... might be a caching issue

err...restarting the service (no need to reboot)
