HTTP to HTTPS self-signed cert

I wanted to build a small site for myself to expose near read-only content mostly for my mobiles.

Firstly I use a dynamic DNS Service from no-ip yielding a simple host (ie http simplesite.serverhttp.com) that maps to my ip.

I wanted to ask if I could setup an HTTPS site in IIS7 using a self-signed certificate and when I goto my normal http site simply redirect to the HTTPS site. The HTTPS site will be using the ASP.Net membership system.

The flow would be along the lines of: http simplesite.servehttp.com redirect to https securesite.com which is bound via self signed certificate.

Can this be done?

This can be done, yes. in IIS you can redirect people to the HTTPS by using the URL Rewrite function. Some of the patterns you might want...

Using: Regular Expressions

Pattern: (.*)

Conditions: Add

-- Input: {HTTP_PROTOCOL}

-- Check if input string: Does not match

-- Pattern: HTTPS

RedirectURL = {R:0}

This isn't complete but it should give you a running start.
