Setting up SSL in Windows 2003 & XP (within 10 minutes)
I thought setting up SSL and configuring the right parts of my website would be a pain, so I never gave it a try, until stumbling into this little piece of art by Matt Solars:
Switching Between HTTP and HTTPS Automatically: Version 2
Combing this with the The IIS 6.0 Resource Kit Tool SelfSSL, my complete website is safe, secure (well, considering I'm my own certificate authority not really secure, but the production environment is going to be another story) within 10 minutes from the initial idea of setting up SSL.
Woohoo!

Well I never said that setting up SSL for auto-redirects was "hard" or that it would take more than 10 minutes -- just that there are some gotchas to watch out for. I still prefer doing it in IIS personally, instead of having to learn and include a 3rd party module, but its nice to see alternatives anyhow.
