redirect some http requests to port 443.

FMH · 09-10-2007, 06:26 AM

Hi all
I want to redirect some http requests -that send to port 80- to port 443 in apache without changing their URLs.
for example redirect http://192.168.2.100/cardService to port 443 instead of port 80.
Can I do this ? if yes how can I do this?
thanks

If I understand you well, you want to redirect http://192.168.2.100/cardService to https://192.168.2.100/cardService. If that's want you want, then you can use the following rewrite rule:

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^cardService$         https://192.168.2.100/cardService [L]

For more details you can read the apache documentation

Dear bathory
I added the lines that you introduced, but when I check access_log , http request does'nt redirect to https request yet. although I added the following lines to httpd.conf.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteLog /var/log/httpd/rewrite_log
RewriteLogLevel info
<Directory "/svr/www/htdocs/CardServices/controller" >
RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymLinks
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R]
</Directory>

but it doesn't work yet. just Rewritelog was made but it is empty. how can we sure that RewriteEngine is realy ON or Re-write module works correctly?

The <IfModule..> part must be changed to:

Code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteLogLevel 9
RewriteLog /var/log/httpd/rewrite_log
</IfModule>

After these changes I guess that rewrite should work.

Dear bathory
thanks for spending time to answer my question. I have another problem. In our web application we don't use get method, infact we closed get request but when I redirect our http request to https, get method is used instead of post. before redirection to https, these request works correctly (post method is used) but after redirection these request don't work correctly (get mothod is used).
Can we set some parameters until post method is used while redirection to https instead of get method.
Best Regards
