Hi. I'm tearing my hair out over an SSLRequire directive that doesn't seem to be working. Can anyone help?

The directive is actually quite simple:

   # Require SSL over non-obvious port 81 for SVN access
   SSLRequire %{SERVER_PORT} == 81

The port which %{SERVER_PORT} expands to is determined by the settings of UseCanonicalPhysicalPort and UseCanonicalName. For different combinations it will depend on either what the client sends in the request's Host header, what the ServerName directive is set to in the vhost, or what httpd derives as the "canonical" name for the vhost to be otherwise.

See docs for more info:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#usecanonicalname
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#usecanonicalphysicalport

Regards, Joe

Huh!  Never heard of those before!

OK, well, I'm still not sure I quite understand the reason why, but "UseCanonicalPhysicalPort on" does seem to have fixed the problem.

Thanks much for the help!
