OK, I see the problem. The browser in the tablet is setting some urls to https whether I specify http or not (such as the home page for google and anything that triggers chrome to search google)
So I'm assuming what I need is a responder on port 443. Before I cludge into trying to hack something in there, do I need to set up a second webServer on that port to handle those or is there a quick and easy way to tell anything calling on the https port to go to 80 instead?
EDIT: Or will it even let me? I see that browsers generally don't accept redirects on 443 which makes sense, and I only see client code for SSL/TLS. Is it possible to do even a basic landing page response on 443 that would include a link to the main page?
EDIT 2:
OK, I tried a second web server responding with only notFound and "/" requests both going to a redirect and no juice. I figured this might be the case. So any other suggestions - if any even exist - to try to either redirect users trying to use https to http or to even spit out a bare bones text/link that says 'try
http://something.net instead' or anything similar would be greatly appreciated.
My goal here is to make accessing the landing page on this thing as brain-dead as possible so the minimum instructions are necessary for random club members to access it. (I'm trying to set up a virtual geocache for a private recreation club on private property)
