Blank lines and lines that begin with "#" are ignored. Other lines have meaning as follows: * <b>http-redirect</b> The http-redirect line, if present, causes all HTTP requests to redirect into an HTTPS request. The "-auth" file is read and processes sequentially, so lines below the "http-redirect" line are never seen or processed for http requests. * <b>https-only</b> The https-only line, if present, means that only HTTPS requests are allowed. Any HTTP request results in a 404 Not Found error. The https-only line normally occurs after an http-redirect line. |
