Hi Mark, I think the oldest version was build with LC 6.7. As far as I can see that version supports https. Is there any characteristic on the standalone, to identify the engine version used? I will give a redirect a try. Thanks for your ideas

I wonder if using a URL redirect, rather than rewrite might work better: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-create-temporary-and -permanent-redirects-with-apache-and-nginx I might be wrong here but I think rewriting just changes the path which apache uses to determine what to return; a redirect causes a 'Redirection' return value to the client so the client can refetch at the (redirected) URL. > I can't just change all URLs in all my LC programs from http to https, > because my customers have lots of old version of my programs out > there, which are not anymore maintained, which were created with any > very old LC version I don't know anymore, etc. Unless the distributed versions built with old versions of LiveCode were built with HTTPS support built-in then they are very unlikely to work with either a redirect or rewrite. Even if you do a redirect/rewrite on the server, the client has to be able to handle the protocol which the server produces correctly.
