SSL Rewrite!

Recommended Posts

So far I have:

 

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
RewriteCond %{http_host} ^example.net [nc]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.net/$1 [r=301,nc] 

 

This works fine for my standard domain, which obviously isn't example.  But when I throw in sub-domains, which my SSL Cert doesn't cover, I have to force my users to make an exception. 

 

I need it to only switch the www.example.net over to https:// and switch http://example.net over to https://www but leave all the sub-domains as http://

 

Is this possible, or am I being too difficult?

I think you probably want something like this...

 

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.net
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=302,NC,QSA]

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.net [nc]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.net/$1 [R=302,NC,QSA] 

 

Note I have put them both as R=302, the main reason behind this is because if you use R=301 and get the rule wrong, it's a pain in the backside to get your browser to notice any changes to the .htaccess (since it doesn't request it because it knows it should be permanently re-directed), once you are happy your rules are working you can change it to 301.

Sweet, that's exactly what I needed.

 

I also threw:

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.net [nc]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.net/$1 [R=302,NC,QSA] 

 

In for good measure!  Thanks a ton!  BTW:  What's the QSA for?

Query String Attach/Append, you don't need it in this case, I tend to throw it into code I'm posting by default to avoid problems with people doing rewrites that involve query strings, as that's what most question involve.

 

Example:

# requested URL: http://example.com/article/1?lang=fr

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ /index.php?page=$1&id=$2
# page displayed: http://example.com/?page=article&id=1

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ /index.php?page=$1&id=$2 [QSA]
# page displayed: http://example.com/?lang=fr&page=article&id=1
