Automatic redirection of http to https for inside web server on ASA with Firepower

[sunugopal]

We have web servers inside our network which are accessible from internet(NATed) via http as well as https. Due to security reasons, we want if anyone from internet connects to the web server via http they should be automatically redirect to https. How this automatic redirection can be configured on the ASA firewall ?

We have ASA 5525-X with software 9.6 , firepower version 6.1.

Redirection must be configured on the web servers. They will reply to the clients with an http 301 (permanent redirect) message.

An ASA with Firepower will not do this on behalf of the web servers.

Thank you Marvin.

Or you can use most web proxies for the same feature, but as Marvin said a firewall is not the right tool for this.
