This doesn't even need mod_rewrite. All you need is to have a port-80 vitual host that catches all the non-ssl requests and put Redirect / http://www.mysite.com/ inside that <VirtualHost> section. > 2) Windows and Internet Explorer seem to continuously give errors > about only some parts of the page being secure, etc. I'm assuming > this error will go away as soon as you folks help me correct my > syntax in the above statement. Unlikely. If the page contains references to insecure items (http://...), then the browser will probably complain regardless of whether or not those items wind up getting redirected to secure locations. Actually, it *must* complain, because the insecure initial request could easily be intercepted and redirected by an attacker, which means the whole page winds up being insecure.
