As a quick-fix you can do it like this:

if(window.location.protocol != 'https:') {
  location.href =   location.href.replace("http://", "https://");
}

But I recommend you to do it using the available method in your web server

From https://stackoverflow.com/a/5411601/5031164

You should use html meta tag for newer browsers AND a javascript script for the older one, at the same time:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=https://example.com/" />
<script type="text/javascript">
   window.location.href = "https://example.com"
</script>

I also report:

For completeness, I think the best way, if possible, is to use server redirects, so send a 301 status code [...]

    What "newer browsers" do you mean? Which "older browser" wouldn't work with it? – Niet the Dark Absol Jun 03 '17 at 14:15

    Very old browser like till IE6 could have problem ( [read more here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_refresh) ). Anyway I read that browsers could ignore 0 value meta refresh in few circumstances, so I suggest to keep the js script as well.
