(Quick post)

Searched the fine web and didn't find a quick answer to how to redirect an http request to https in Mojolicious. I wanted to insure that logins were always secure. Finally cobbled together a solution and thought I should share and maybe get some improvements.

  1. Run 2 webservers: one to handle http and the other to handle https, which for me is two incantations of hypnotoad
  2. Add a route in your http App
    $r->get('/login')->to('MyApp#https_redirect');
  3. Add a sub to the http Controller
    sub https_redirect { my $self = shift; my $secure = $self->req->url->to_abs->scheme('https')->port(443); $self->redirect_to($secure); }
  4. Profit!

All the sub does is redirect the request to the new protocol at the same url. I've seen a method in the docs to a is_secure method which could be useful somewhere. Also, I tried using $r->any('/login'), but it doesn't work for me and I'm moving on.

Yes, I probably could've gotten a better answer inside 2 minutes on IRC (people are so very helpful), but it never occurs to me until afterwards.

Sometimes I can think of 6 impossible LDAP attributes before breakfast.

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
