The cleanest way of doing this, doesn't even need mod_rewrite. Just define two virtualhosts, one for the non-ssl host and one for the ssl host:

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>

   ServerName www.example.com

   Redirect permanent / https://www.example.com/

</VirtualHost>

NameVirtualHost *:443

<VirtualHost *:443>

   ServerName www.example.com

   DocumentRoot /path/to/htdocs/

   SSLEngine On

   ...etc...

</VirtualHost>

Hi Experts,

I have a quick question regarding rewrite rule.

My aim is to redirect users http URL to https URL.

Like suppose the user enters the URL as follows in the web browser

http://servername:port/myapp then it should redirect itself to https://servername:SSLport/myapp.

I have added the following rewrite condition and rule in my httpd.conf file

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} PORT

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

The rewrite rule works only if I use the url as http://servername:port/myapp/ (i have to add a "/" infront of my application)

if I use http://servername:port/myapp then the rewrite is done only for the port,that is it changes to http://servername:sslport/myapp (http does not change to https).

Thanks in advance for your help.
