If you use Apache, a rewrite rule is the simplest approach and instructions can be found by searching for "rewrite http to https Apache". A similar process will work with nginx.

I've been working with a number of colleagues getting ready to turn HTTPS on by default for various loc.gov domains. This has been fairly successful and we're working through the old legacy apps now.
When that work completes, we'll have somewhere around half a million links which differ only in the URL scheme. What would be the best way to rewrite all of those URLs? I'd like to reduce the window during which users transit from HTTPS -> HTTP -> HTTPS.
If anyone's curious, I've been collecting the links for a few dozen wikis in a somewhat oversized Git repo:

The first site which has completely migrated is the much smaller World Digital Library which has just under four thousand links: https://gist.github.com/acdha/f785b22b356a9842439e
