    Hi All,

    Not sure if this has been discussed before here.
    I can't find anything through the search utility on the site that directly relates to what i am looking for.

    One of my sites is being indexed in google for both http and https.

    Is this fixable?
    I was reading an article about http vs https canonicalization problems.

    Anyone ever has these probs.

    Here is the article that addresses the issue.

    Haven't tried this fix yet. Thought i would ask first.
    Any opinions or advice will be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers~! :)

    If you're not using https:// then either use a 301 redirect to point the https:// pages to the standard http:// version or just block them from your robots.txt file. If you are using https:// on some pages, then make sure that ONLY those pages that require the extra security use them, and to redirect the http:// versions of those pages to the https:// ones.
