First, the pattern in your rule is . which will match any one character, so it will only match requests with a single character in the path. To match anything, you want "^(.*)$", then you want to put "$1" at the end of your rewrite substitution, so that the path they requested gets appended to the rewritten request. Second, you want to do a full redirect, not just a rewrite. Rewriting is internal only and won't cause the client to connect securely. To turn the rewrite rule into a redirect, add the [R] flag. If this is a permanent set up, you should make it [R=301]. Finally, the way you have it set up, this will probably cause an infinite redirect because you haven't filtered out requests that are already https. Check the RewriteCond documentation, there's some way to check this. You only want to apply your rewrite if it isn't already https. Anyway, Davide's suggestion is probably simpler. -Brian -- Feel free to contact me using PGP Encryption: Key Id: 0x3AA70848 Available from: http://pgp.mit.edu/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
