hi there, i am having a slight issue with re-write rules, i have it setup so that any requests that are not HTTP get re-sent to HTTPS. However if i connect using https://your.domain.com or https://your.domain.com/ i get a page not found, so i need to be able to catch that its https but that there is no request and to send it to https://your.domain.com/home. my current rules are: # ================================================= # Rewrite to HTTPS Settings # ================================================= RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/heartbeat/heartbeat.htm RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/server-status RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !=443 RewriteRule ^/$ https://your.domain.com/home [R=301,L] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^your\.domain\.com [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !="" RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/heartbeat/heartbeat.htm RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://your.domain.com:%{SERVER_PORT}/$1 [R=301,L] The first rules handles the fact that i have to serve heartbeat.htm and server-status as port 80 requests but anything else thats not HTTPS goes to HTTPS. The second rule matches the incoming domain request to re-write to the correct domain, but allows heartbeat.htm to send a 200 status code rather than a 301. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated cheers Steve Steve Foster | Capgemini | Telford Shared Technology Services T. +44 (0) 1952 296664 | www.capgemini.com Internal: 46664 Join the Collaborative Business Experience =========================================================== Our e-mail domain has now changed from iraspire.com to hmrcaspire.com.
