Re: How to rewrite specific URL to use https

["Ted Fines" <ted.fines@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Thank you.  The lines:
RewriteMap  lowercase int:tolower
RewriteRule (.*) ${lowercase:$1} [PT]

are in there because without them, we have a case-sensitive URL problem.  The new ones I'm trying to add are these:
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/restricted(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/restricted(.*)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,NC]

I'm apparently having trouble having these work together well.  When I remove the lowercase lines, the three that do the https redirect work.  When I remove the https redirect lines, the lowercase ones work.  Together, its broken.

Can you clarify "add [L] to the flags on your redirect"?   Do you mean the one that does lowercase, or the https one?

I tried:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteLogLevel 0
RewriteLog "/usr/local/apache/logs/server.mac.edu.rewrite.log"
RewriteMap  lowercase int:tolower
RewriteCond $1 [A-Z]
RewriteRule (.*) ${lowercase:$1} [PT]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/restricted(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/restricted(.*)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [NC]

And this seems to work.  It correctly rewrites URLs to lowercase, and now all reqs to /restricted get rewritten as https.

I do not understand why this doesn't work when "RewriteCond $1 [A-Z]" is removed.  If you can clarify that, great, but the problem appears to be solved now, thank you!

Isn't that just hitting the lowercase map?

If so, you can either add [L] to the flags on your redirect, or you
can test whether the lowercase is really necessary with a
RewriteCond $1 [A-Z]
