Yes, I thought maybe that was a dumb answer. A rewrite is nice to rewrite some of the url's that may appear in referencing pages. This way you might avoid some of the error messages or security warmings that may appear when you load references to http under ssl. So the rewrite actually happens when you make a url call where the protocal is rewritten from http to https, and also when the page is returned to you with references to http. These are then modified to comeback as https references. Kind of a nice little feature. So, if any of your code makes links to http://yoursite/... it would be changed to make references to https://yoursite/...

Yes, I understand that. :) I was wondering if/why doing it one way might be better than doing it the other. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
