Hi,

I decided to change my site over to the force SSL for all pages, mostly because I think it gains trust and also because Google is suggesting it may start using this as a weighting in results for certain sites. Whilst it may make no difference for my site, I figured better to do now than later when the site is bigger.

I read up a bit on the SEO of http > https redirects  and most people say Google can normally work out when a 302 should be a 301, but if you know it is permanent, always go with 301.  I accept that some people may want a 302, but I recon when people are selecting SSL forced for every page they want permanent.

I have edited the SiteUtils.ForceSSL code just to get this done quickly for me in case Google starts indexing both my pages and dilutes rank or some other horror stories I have read about. I know I should edit code, but can't afford to be out of results for 3 months "if" it makes a difference.

Would it be possible to add a config key for future code releases to allow people to choose whether they want 302 or 301 for their forced SSL response?

Keep up the great work guys!!

Matt
