HTTP to HTTPS redirect not working on Apache with PHP

Question

I have a script that handles several different redirects on a server with a snippet that looks like follows:

if($url == "http://www.url.com")
    {header("Location: https://www.url.com/index.html");}

The script works exactly as intended with one issue - all of the https redirects end up redirecting to http (versus the https as defined).

Does anyone have any ideas what may be going on?

Answer 1

The server you redirect to has a redirect of its own to http.

Nothing you can do about it, unless you are administering that server.
