Hello Apache httpd users,
I have just subscribed to this list to clarify a few things for
me that so far
I couldn't find in the abundance of Apache and its modules'
refeernce and howto
material.
Probably something like this has been asked a million of times
here and thus already
found sufficient coverage in the FAQs or similar list annals.
Although I am quite sure that what I try to achieve can easily be
handled by
mod_rewrite I hesitate pulling in this module's heavy regex
parser as it sort of
seems like overkill to me for such a trivial task.
Inspite, I have the supicion that the more light weight mod_alias
could equally well come
to rescue.
I have a URI (i.e. Alias) whose <Directory> container should
include an SSLRequireSSL
to enforce SSL/TLS for clients' access.
However, instead of the browser merely returning a forbidden
statement I'd rather
like to redirect any http request into a https request to the
same URI.
That's why I thought up this
<IfModule mod_alias.c>
RedirectMatch 301 ^(?:[[:alpha:]]+://)?(.*)
https://$1
</IfModule>
But it doesn't work, and neither the httpd's access_log nor
error_log (or their ssl_ namesakes)
show up any hint why.
In mod_alias'es reference doc I couldn't find a note on what kind
of regex classes are valid
(e.g. simple ones like the Unix sed uses, or more advanced like
Perl's e.g. \w).
Probably the [:alpha:] isn't recognised at all.
Or could I refer to some server's environment variables like
%{PROTO} (if such exists at all?)
Where would I find a list of all httpd env vars?
Regards
Ralph
