Question

I want to use https for a single page instead of whole website.
My application is in MVC3. I have used below code to accomplish this.

[RequireHttps]
public ViewResult YourAction()

But after routing to my particular action, the whole website runs under https.
I want to use https for a single page not for whole website.

I have done it using below code.

    public static void RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilterCollection filters)
            {
                filters.Add(new HandleErrorAttribute());
                filters.Add(new LimitHttpsAttribute());
            }

 public class LimitHttpsAttribute : IAuthorizationFilter
    {
        private static Type ssl = typeof(RequireHttpsAttribute);

        public void OnAuthorization(AuthorizationContext filterContext)
        {
            if (filterContext == null)
            {
                throw new ArgumentNullException("filterContext");
            }
            if (filterContext.HttpContext != null && filterContext.HttpContext.Request != null)
            {
                if (!filterContext.HttpContext.Request.IsSecureConnection ||
                    filterContext.HttpContext.Request.IsAuthenticated)
                {
                    return;
                }
                if (!RequiresSSL(filterContext))
                {
                    filterContext.Result = Unencrypted(filterContext.HttpContext.Request);
                }
            }
        }

        private bool RequiresSSL(AuthorizationContext filterContext)
        {
            return filterContext.ActionDescriptor != null ?
                filterContext.ActionDescriptor.GetCustomAttributes(ssl, true).Length > 0
                : false;
        }
}
