Request.UrlReferrer.AbsoluteUri losing HTTPS navigation

[TheMatrix]

Hi All,

I am facing a weird problem with HTTPS and Request.Url.AbsoluteUri in my
ASP.NET application. Here is the scenario -
1. I have a page call Authentication.aspx using this URL https://NHWB032/ClientAccount/EN/Authentication.aspx
On the page i have a menu that enables you to navigate to the same page but in a different language (French).

When clicking the language link i navigate to http://NHWB032/ClientAccount/FR/Authentication.aspx

and i am using Request.Url.AbsoluteUri to know on which page i am since i have more than 1 page containing the language menu.

If you notice between the 2 links Request.Url.AbsoluteUri got change from HTTPS to HTTP

PROBLEM - the result has HTTP instead of HTTPS!!!!!

Has anybody faced a similar problem or has some insight into what could be
going wrong and could anybody give me the best resolution to this problem i.e.:Change the code, Change settings on the server and IIS.etc.?

Thanks for your help!

The same goes for Request.Url, Https configured pages can only be loaded by a Https schema url, Http only by Http schema. But this is not a code issue or something you check for in code, view the page in browser (you know the url) and you'll see if it configured for Http or Https.

The fix we came up with is to put this line of code:

redirPath.Replace("http://", "https://")
