Research direction

Start with the deployment configuration for http://docs.perfsonar.net, since the issue names no repository files or tests. Verify the site behavior over HTTP and HTTPS; the work is done when HTTP redirects to HTTPS and HSTS is deployed.

Description

docs.perfsonar.net

Reported by Trust & Identity Service Operations Manager from GÉANT:

I noticed that the perfsonar documentation website supports HTTPS but does not enforce it:

http://docs.perfsonar.net

Since it contains instructions and URLs to configure systems, this may lead to security problems.

Would it be possible to redirect all HTTP to HTTPS (and also deploy HSTS)?
