CentOS - Mar 2011 - HOW to REDIRECT to HTTPS?

I'm searching for a method [on client side] to redirect to HTTPS in a few
given domains.


e.g.:


http://www.facebook.com/


to


https://www.facebook.com/


Ok. I use several webbrowsers, and not all of them has "add-ons" to
redirect these pages to https.


My purpose is this: when i go to "http://www.facebook.com" i don't
want to see any http traffic with wireshark


Is this possible?? How can i achieve it? How can i automatically redirect http
traffic for given domain names to HTTPS??


is it enough to redirect http? I mean then the webserver [e.g.:
www.facebook.com] recognizes that i want to "talk" over HTTPS?


I has a caching-nameserver on my pc - BIND


I have an "ad blocking" proxy on my pc - PRIVOXY


And my pc is a "linux box" - IPTABLES [iptables only knows ip
addresses?]

Perhaps you should go to <http://apache.org>, and read the documentations.
It's definitely not one of the more obscure and difficults talks (as, say,
rewritre rules are).

Ralph, can you please unsubscribe this guy? He keeps sending generic 
questions to a bunch of lists for no good reason. Thanks.

Someone else already mention https-everywhere, the firefox plug-in.
That works for me.

eff.org recently had an extensive article on this very topic.  You may
want to search their site for more info.
