<div>Hi Olly,</div><div><br></div><div>I'm assuming you're using Apache, and guessing your redirect is currently done in an .htaccess file.</div><div>If you could use PHP instead then you could access the server's address with the server variable $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'] and use a header() statement to send the browser a redirect.</div>
<div><br></div><div>See <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.server.php">http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.server.php</a> and <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/function.header.php">http://php.net/manual/en/function.header.php</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>Your code would probably look something like</div><div><br></div><div><?php</div><div> header('Location: https://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'], true, 301);</div><div>?></div><br>
Stick that in index.php in the root directory of your server and you've got a start. It'll only redirect requests to the bare domain though... if you want to redirect ALL non-HTTPS site requests then you might need something in .htaccess to rewrite them all to index.php<div>
<br></div><div>Also if you're serving the same directory for both protocols, you might need to do some work with $_SERVER['HTTPS'] to detect how you got here.</div><div><br></div><div>Jon<br><div><br></div><div>

<div><br></div><div>That is, the server itself will be going to a client for testing, but they have DHCP only and no access to the DHCP service to assign a static IP. They also have no internal DNS. They work from a serviced office and the serviced office hardware just hands out IPs. As such the IP of the server will change every 4 to 8 hours or so and I need the redirect to be able to redirect to whatever the current IP address is.</div>
