How do I force ASP.NET app to use HTTPS?

Question

My app uses HTTPS only. I have SSL enabled from the properties window. Everything works well except, when I run the project, it runs on HTTP. I then have to

change the URL manually to HTTPS, and then
change the port number to the SSL one.

How can I force the app to run as HTTPS? Is there a quick fix for that (without using logic in my pages)? I searched for this, but I haven't found a case that matches mine.

Note: I am using ASP.NET MVC4 with web API.

Have you added the RequireHttps attribute to any of your controllers or actions? — James, Oct 18 '13 at 11:47

You'll need to detect if the request came in http or https, and redirect if http to https. The below post should have some hints
