Thanks for the quick reply! So... what http code do I use to break out the infinite loop so it loads only once?

I'm afraid I can't answer that one, as you're using IIS and I'm Unices centered.

FWIW, in situations where the port-80 service does *nothing but* hand out redirects to port 443, I typically let the full-blown webserver handle the HTTPS (whether natively or behind an SSL wrapper) and use a boilerplate PERL script (alas, not readily usable on Windows) for the redirecting. I've seen too many kinds of webserver doing redirections to autodetermined URLs that happen to miss some vital part of the originally requested URL, including some that *cause* the browser to drop from HTTPS back to HTTP in the first place. :-S
