https rewrite

Hello!

I have a rewrite rule that's working great, I just need to direct it to SSL and tried a bunch of combinations with no luck

Here's what I have so far for the .htaccess file sitting in the /profile/ folder:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !profile\.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)
RewriteRule !\.(gif|jpg|png|css)$ profile.php?shopid=%2&shop=%3

http://www.domain.com/profile/123/shop-name

should redirect to

https://www.domain.com/profile/123/shop-name

I'm sure this is a quick one for someone..thanks!

Add a

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off

and change the destination of the RewriteRule so that it goes to the HTTPS location.

Works, but keeps the URL in its original NON rewrite form. Need https and pretty URL. Please advise. Thanks!

Huh. Right. It would. Derp.

Two rules.

RewriteEngine on

# generic HTTPSify rules, but only gets applied to the profile stuff
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !profile\.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)
RewriteRule !\.(gif|jpg|png|css)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L]

# URL rewriting
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !profile\.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)
RewriteRule !\.(gif|jpg|png|css)$ profile.php?shopid=%2&shop=%3

Presto!

I thought the [L] indicates last, but this rule only works with it?

Thank you.

It does mean "last", as in "this is the last rule for this cycle, don't process any more". Thus mod_rewrite will do the redirect, the rule won't match the next time around, and the silent URL rewriting proceeds as normal.

perfect explanation. word.
