Bug ID: 59399
Summary: Tomcat doesn't support setting the response code for
http -> https redirect
Product: Tomcat 7
Version: 7.0.42
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: Connectors
Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
Reporter: lyal...@gmail.com
Product: apache-tomcat-7.0.42
Version: 7-0.42
Component: Connector (guess)
Platform: x86_64
OS: Ubuntu Linux 12.04.2 LTS and CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511
Severity: enhancement
Java: jdk1.8.0_77
Tomcat 7.0.42 used as standalone web server port 80
configured with
<transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee> in web.xml
and
<Connector port="80" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
connectionTimeout="20000"
redirectPort="443" />
<Connector port="443" maxThreads="150" scheme="https" secure="true"
SSLEnabled="true" keystoreFile="/opt/keys/tomcat.keystore"
keystorePass="?" clientAuth="false" keyAlias="tomcat"
sslProtocol="TLS" />
in server.xml
# curl -D /tmp/headers.txt -s http://localhost
# cat headers.txt
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
...
It doesn't seem to be possible to configure the response code for the http ->
https redirect.
Discussions with Google webmasters reveal that Google require a 301 moved
permanently response to the http -> https redirect. This is key to maintaining
existing rankings
Unfortunately Tomcat returns 302 temporary redirect when performing the
redirection.
Implementing site wide https is also crucial to maintaining rankings
unfortunately the benefits of doing this are largley negated by the inability
to return the required status code.The only option is to undeploy https thereby
once again harming rankings.
A good Google ranking is the difference between making a profit and making a
loss. Much as I don't like it, that's the way it is unfortunately.
