Hi everyone, Fortunately, my problem only applies to GET and HEAD requests, since all POST forms must be obtained through a GET in the first place.

Thanks for the re-assurance, I had looked into mod_rewrite to begin with, but I was not clear about the following: - How could mod_rewrite tell if a 'Require user' or 'Require group' directive needs to be 'Satisfy'ed? This is one of my conditions. - How could a VirtualHost's RewriteCond evaluate the condition _after_ considering the effects of a 'Require group' or 'Satisfy any' in subsidiary .htaccess? I'd almost think of it in the following way: (a) Apache already goes to all the trouble of working out how to respond to the GET/HEAD request; (b) if it wants to respond with "401 Unauthorized" on the HTTP virtual host then (c) I "simply" want to transmute it to a "302 Found" at the HTTPS virtual host (i.e., return the original request URL with 'http:' replaced by 'https:'). Any pointers? James --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
