Has anyone ever used mod_rewrite to try and force SSL on certain portions of a
website?
I feel like I'm running around in circles trying to figure it out. As a point
of reiteration, I'm using the following code:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/home
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/insurance-tips
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/add-a-tip
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule .* https://www.website.com/$1 [R,L]
I've tried implementing a couple of these but it never really does what I think
it's supposed to do. If someone could please point me in the right direction,
I'd appreciate it.
Thanks!

Hi Folks,
I'm new to the manual side of web administration, and am using Apache2 in a
Debian Linux distribution.
I was asked by my boss to set up a situation where we force SSL on certain
portions of a website, and turn it off when the viewer goes to another page on
the site. I have decided to use mod_rewrite to do so. I've read through and
have come up with the below code.
This set of code is on the base port 80 site. I have created this code with
the intent to rewrite the URL to SSL if the page is not the string.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/home
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/insurance-tips
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/add-a-tip
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule .* https://www.website.com/$1 [R,L]
This set of code, I have written on the 443 SSL site.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/home
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/insurance-tips
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/add-a-tip
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =on
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://www.website.com/$1 [R,L]
When you first go to the site, it behaves as I want it to and leaves everything
as HTTP. But when you go back to the home page, it is supposed to remove the
HTTPS, but it does not. I'm hoping that someone can critique my code here and
tell me where I've gone wrong. I appreciate any feedback.
Thanks!
