Redirect http to https

Questions

Hi,

how can I redirect all http connections to https? I’ve done what has been said in this GH issue
but it’s not working!

here is my nginx custom template (just like the original):

worker_processes ${{NGINX_WORKER_PROCESSES}}; # can be set by kong.conf
daemon ${{NGINX_DAEMON}};                     # can be set by kong.conf

pid pids/nginx.pid;                      # this setting is mandatory
error_log logs/error.log ${{LOG_LEVEL}}; # can be set by kong.conf

events {
    use epoll; # custom setting
    multi_accept on;
}

http {
    # include default Kong Nginx config
    include 'nginx-kong.conf';

    # custom server
    server {
        listen 80 default_server;
        listen [::]:80 default_server;
        server_name _;
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
    }
}

and I ran the following command kong start --nginx-conf /kong-custom.conf but nothing happened.

Thanks.

To share an update and for others who stumble across this, with https://github.com/Kong/kong/pull/4424 merged in, Kong 1.2 comes with support for sending HTTPS redirect out of the box in Kong.
