 * Hi!
 * I have been fiddling around with Azure web apps lately, and trying to setup a
   WordPress app.
 * It seems that when using “WordPress on Linux”, enforcing HTTPS is not working.
   The forms in wp-login.php is still pointing to http and so the browsers block
   it. Thus making it impossible to login.
 * This is not the case when using the “WordPress” app. It seems to work very well
   using that one.
 * `<form name="loginform" id="loginform" action="http://wplinux123.azurewebsites.
   net/wp-login.php" method="post">`

 * If you host a WordPress site on Azure Web App on Linux running Apache, here are
   the steps to implement an HTTP to HTTPS redirect:
 * 1. Add RewriteRule in .htaccess in WordPress application root:
 *     ```
        RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-ARR-SSL} ^$
        RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
       ```
   
 * 2. Once this RewriteRule is added, you may see your /wp-admin page displaying
   like this, which is caused by loading mixed content from http and https:

 * 3. Next, add the following code in your `wp-config.php` file:
 *     ```
       define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true); 
       if ( isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_ARR_SSL']) ) 
               $_SERVER['HTTPS']='on';
       ```

 * Hi!
 * Thank you, I will give this a try!
 * I am wondering, since both apps are provided by WordPress.
    How come the one 
   called “WordPress on Linux” is not preconfigured with this, when the other one
   is?
