How to create a redirect?

[JR McVicker <jr...@cornerstone.edu>]

Good morning.  I am trying to setup a redirect using Apache Tomcat but I
have not located any clear directions on how to set one up.

When I go to https://webadvisor.cornerstone.edu my page does not load.   If
I take out https and replace it with http the page loads and it uses https.

Can you be a bit more specific ? what /does/ happen in that case ?

That would tend to indicate that there is already some form of redirect happening.

Suggestion : use a browser with a plugin/add-on allowing you to trace and follow the real 
exchanges between browser and webserver (even the ones you don't normally see).
In Firefox, the Web Developer Extension provides a "Network Inspector" that may be useful.
For older IE, there exists a "Fiddler2" extension.
Google Chrome has it built-in ("More tools").

And it's using a non-standard port:

https://webadvisor.cornerstone.edu:8443/WAPROD/WebAdvisor?TYPE=M&PID=CORE-WBMAIN&TOKENIDX=9075473998

A plain "https://whatever/" URL requires that your SSL server use
port 443 (natively, via proxy, iptables, etc.)
