I keep hearing that redirecting from http to https is not very secure [non-SSL to SSL]. Among other reasons, one reason is that the browser may continue to think it is communicating with non secure server and may not encrypt the data. Is it true? I hope not, I am using the following - do you see any issue here.
<VirtualHost 12.34.567.89:80>
ServerName www.mysite1234.com:80
Redirect / https://www.mysite1234.com/
</VirtualHost>
Regards. |

| A redirect is secure. The browser will not continue the old connection as long as your do not have http:// in your html source code. |
