I'd like to redirect users to http urls if they came to my website with http:// and i'd like to redirect them to https urls if they came to my website with https://

is there a way to provide urls for example:

 ://foo.com/bar

or any other method to create a link on the page based on the same http method that the user got in ?

i prefer a solution that is based on pure html without javascript

update

thanks for the quick responses.

unfortunately i forgot to mention that I redirect to a different subdomain so i cannot omit the domain name

thanks!

try `/bar` as the `href` – John Dvorak Nov 28 '12 at 10:47
Like simply omitting the host name? – Álvaro González Nov 28 '12 at 10:49
@ÁlvaroG.Vicario correct. I'm trying to find it documented. – John Dvorak Nov 28 '12 at 10:49
oh sorry.. i redirect to a different domain – ufk Nov 28 '12 at 10:50
Then you have to include the protocol as well. – John Dvorak Nov 28 '12 at 10:51
so i need to include each url dynamically based on javascript code to test if the current url is http or https? – ufk Nov 28 '12 at 10:52
That would be a solution. Alternatively, you could do it on the server. – John Dvorak Nov 28 '12 at 10:53
I recommend the server-side approach. – John Dvorak Nov 28 '12 at 10:55

what about '///domain/url' ? still testing but so far so good – ufk Nov 28 '12 at 10:55
@extramaster should this question be closed with your link as a duplicate? – John Dvorak Nov 28 '12 at 10:59
