I've been looking at a particular problem and it's one of those ones that's just really hard to describe in unique terms for a search (maybe no one else has hit it before :). Been Googling all over trying to find details on any consequences/side-effects of using mod_rewrite to redirect secure urls to other secure urls on the same site. Something like RewriteRule ^https://mycom.com/specialsale https://mycom.com/content/some/url/page.html First of all, does that even make sense? I'm a little fuzzy on the precise technical details of how SSL connections and http headers "mix". I've dealt with SSL and Apache in general in the past and have some knowledge of SSL handshakes/negotiations, but the precise technical details I've not had the "pleasure" of dealing with very often. Second, we've seen that at least sometimes that seems to generate a big spike in CPU usage "all of a sudden" once it goes live.
