It would be nice if requests to HTTP could automatically redirect to HTTPS. May you know how to do it?

You can use rewrite rule in HTTP server to do that.

For example(nginx)

server {

    listen 80;

    server_name www.example.com;

    location / {

         rewrite ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com$1 permanent;

    }

}

Have a look at RequestHandler.redirect(url, permanent=False)

don't want to use nginx)

You can also do it on the firewall

You can override prepare to redirect to https like below:

class MainHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler):

    def prepare(self):

        if self.request.protocol == "http":

            self.redirect("https://%s" % self.request.full_url()[len("http://"):],

                          permanent=True)

    def get(self):

        self.write("Hello, world")

    def get(self):

It's not really possible to detect and redirect HTTP requests *made to the HTTPS port*.  See the discussion in
