hi joshua, sorry i should have been more specific. Its not actually our app but an authentication plug-in and backend that changes the URI and then passes back to the browser. There may be a bug in it that its capturing the incoming URL and not able to re-write it to https before passing back. This is being investigated by the provider but in the meantime i would like to re-write the URI to the proper secure method. does that make sense? cheers Steve -----Original Message----- From: jslive@xxxxxxxxx [mailto:jslive@xxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Joshua Slive Sent: 15 December 2006 14:19 To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: re-writing URI's On 12/15/06, Foster, Stephen (ASPIRE) <steve.foster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Good point well made, > > the current rules are as follows: > > non-secure handler: > # ================================================= > # Rewrite to HTTPS Settings > # ================================================= > RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/heartbeat/heartbeat.htm > RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/server-status > RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !=443 > RewriteRule ^/$ https://www.domain.com/home [R=301,L] > RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.com [NC] > RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !="" > RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/heartbeat/heartbeat.htm > RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://www.domain.com:%{SERVER_PORT}/$1 [R=301,L] > > Secure Virtual host: > RewriteRule ^/$ https://www.domain.com/home [R=301,L] > > The backend application catches the /home part and assesses whether the client has already logged in and if not re-directs to /login which then returns the URL/URI given in the original email further down this thread. Sorry, but I don't get it. You talked about a query string with APPURI=http://www.domain.com/home getting added someplace. But I don't see that above. If it is your application that is adding it, then your application should be able to set the correct scheme.
