HTTPRedirect to https url

1

Hello,

I’m trying to configure http redirect from one host to another using HTTPRedirect feature of VirtualService. It works, but I can only redirect to http urls, not https. Here is an example:

apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1alpha3
kind: VirtualService
metadata:
  name: website1-redirect
spec:
  gateways:
  - website1-gateway
  hosts:
  - website1.com
  http:
  - match:
    - authority:
        exact: website1.com
    redirect:
      authority: website2.com

I’d like to redirect from https://website1.com to https://website2.com. We terminate ssl on AWS load balancer. Is there a way to achieve that? Envoy has something like that defined, but it looks like it’s not exposed in istio: https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/api-v2/api/v2/route/route.proto#envoy-api-field-route-redirectaction-https-redirect

This redirection is necessary as we can encrypt the site from the malicious attack and if you are looking for information about it then go to kaspersky antivirus error 1922
