The ActionController::Base#redirect_to
method takes an options hash, one of the parameters of which is :protocol
which allows you to call:
redirect_to :protocol => 'https://',
:controller => 'some_controller',
:action => 'index'
See the definition for #redirect_to
and #url_for
for more info on the options.
Alternatively, and especially if SSL is to be used for all your controller actions, you could take a more declarative approach using a before_filter
. In ApplicationController
you could define the following method:
def redirect_to_https
redirect_to :protocol => "https://" unless (request.ssl? || request.local?)
end
You can then add filters in your those controllers which have actions requiring SSL, e.g:
class YourController
before_filter :redirect_to_https, :only => ["index", "show"]
end
Or, if you require SSL across your entire app, declare the filter in ApplicationController
:
class ApplicationController
before_filter :redirect_to_https
end
