# Redirect to www for heroku with SSL

How to redirect to https version of the url.

If you are using heroku and if you have enabled https then site must be
redirected to use `www` . It means all Rails applications should ensure that
"no-www" urls are redirected to "www".

In Rails3 it is pretty easy to do. Here is how it can be done.

```ruby
Bigbinary::Application.routes.draw do

  constraints(:host => /^bigbinary.com/) do
    root :to => redirect("http://www.bigbinary.com")
    match '/*path', :to => redirect {|params| "http://www.bigbinary.com/#{params[:path]}"}
  end

end
```
