http -> https redirect on AWS using load balancer

readme.md

We create a separate port listener in web server config, forwart all HTTP connections from load balancer to this port, and configure web server to redirect all connections on this port to https

#add port 1443 listener to EC2 security group

Custom TCP Rule   TCP   1443  <load balancer group id>

#add load balancer rules:

HTTP	  80	  HTTP	  1443	  N/A	        N/A
HTTPS	  443	  HTTP	  80	    <Cipher>	  <SSL Certificate>

#add web server config apache:

Listen 1443

<VirtualHost *:1443>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI}
</VirtualHost>

nginx:

server {
    listen     1443;
    return     301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}
