Hello everyone,
have an esoteric question.

We have an apache webserver. This server has been accessible to the world with http. I recently acquired an ssl certificate and I'm now forcing all traffic to use https.
To do this, I simply changed the FW rule to accept traffic only from the https service.

It all works fine, except for one thing.

If you go to the url https://hostname.ourcompany.com it works great. However, if you go to http://hostname.ourcompany.com you will eventually get a "page cannot be displayed... cannot find server or DNS error". The FW logs correctly show the http packet being dropped.

Now, I've done a little research and found that error 403-4.htm (in IE) instructs the user to enter httpS://... as the url.

Does any now how I can get FW-1 to respond back with a specific html error?

thanks
