[SOLVED] Using mod_rewrite to make some http pages to https

I would like to have this url:

http://myhost.com/index.php?option=com_ … &Itemid=23

to become the https one.

This far I have tried this rule:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}  ".*com_weblinks.*"
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]

Someting is wrong with my voodoo here, but I don't know what...

This is how it works for me:

  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R,L]

I have been meaning to know how to enable clean URLs. I use Drupal and have tried to edit .htaccess many ways (including your above) without success.

Re: [SOLVED] Using mod_rewrite to make some http pages to https

This snippet from IBM has been working for me, too:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} =80
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI}

and by using an extra RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*administrator.*) also has worked nicely to enable ssl protection just over dirs like http://myhost.com/administrator/

It seems too much to protect the whole site - I'd like to have just parts of the sites that have certain words in their URLs or URIs.

Re: [SOLVED] Using mod_rewrite to make some http pages to https

go by https if its: www.example.com/test?foobar

# Activate the Rewrite engine
RewriteEngine On

# You only want to go by https if the QueryString CONTAINS foobar (after a ? in the URL)
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} .*foobar.*
# he requestet /test .. so you can match on /test ... then y EXTERNAL REDIRECT him to you self but using https this time ... the Query_string automagically gets apended
RewriteRule ^/test$ https://www.example.com/test [R,L]

if you also want to change the query string you have to use a second RewriteRule with [QSA] ... QueryStringAppend ...

Re: [SOLVED] Using mod_rewrite to make some http pages to https

It worked nicely - I have another small problem now - I think page is only partly protected. https - url has red color at the Firefox' address bar and also the lock symbol at the bottom right is red. Would I need something else to add to this rewrite command:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} .*com_contact.*
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [NC,R,L]

Re: [SOLVED] Using mod_rewrite to make some http pages to https

My new problem is images-related - got to fix the code to use dynamic urls for them like <img src="folder/image.jpg" and not static ones like <img src="http://www.mysite.com/folder/image.jpg".
