RewriteEngine and excluding directories - apache

When I use this to force all the requests to go to https, it works fine (even the Redirect 301):
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
Redirect 301 /some.htm https://domain.nl/SEO-friendly-dir/
Now, when I try to exclude two directories with two additional lines, it doesn't work anymore (the http is suddenly working again).
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} "/dir1/" [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} "/dir2/"
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
Redirect 301 /some.htm https://domain.nl/SEO-friendly-dir/
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong here?


Try with below if you are looking for exclusion of urls,
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/dir1/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/dir2/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
Redirect 301 /some.htm https://domain.nl/SEO-friendly-dir/

Redirection subdomain

I was trying now for hours to get it working but without a solution.
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301,NE]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^forum\.rainingdreams\.to
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://rainingdreams.to/forum/$1 [R=301]
This is the .htaccess that I use. I have the problem, that the subdomain fetches the folder wrong. If I enter "forum.rainingdreams.to" it will fetch "forum.rainingdreams.to/forum/". I just want that the subdomain will redirect it to the folder.
Does anyone have an Idea?

You can use:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301,NE]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^forum\.rainingdreams\.to
RewriteRule ^((?!forum).*)$ /forum/$1 [L]

How do I do https for a whole website, except for one folder?

I have this htaccess file, which rewrites everything to https:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
Is it possible to make an exception for a single folder, so it runs on normal http?

The following RewriteCond can be used:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/test/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
Uses http for:
http://example.com/test/abc.txt
but redirects to https for:
http://example.com/hello/abc.txt

htaccess RewriteRule to https doesn't work combined with other rules

I'm trying to set a few rules in my .htaccess to work in a specific way:
Specific page redirections:
RewriteRule "^web/site/mais$" https://www.main.com/front/for-you/insurance/ [R=301,L]
Home redirection
RewriteRule ^$ https://www.forexample.com.br/for-you/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^/$ https://www.forexample.com.br/for-you/ [R=301,L]
HTTP to HTTPS and add www to the rest (this is what doesn't work), i tried many things:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !^on$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !^on$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
Other way I tried forgotting the www rule (but doesn't work too):
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
The only way I found to combine is writting the general https and www rule in the httpd.conf and the other rules into the .htaccess, but this way I get two or more 301 redirects, bad business for SEO.

Do you have the same problema with all the directories or only with some?
Because if you have ProxyPass (as you said), maybe it send you the redirections directly to Tomcat, so maybe you need to specify the rules into the ssl.conf to read that rules before leave the ssl.conf. Try to write the last you wrote into the ssl.conf after the ProxyPass

If you want to redirect some spacific pages to https, forexample, To redirect :
http://example.com/page.html
to
https://www.example.com/page.html
And
http://example.com/page2.html
to
- https://www.example.com/page2.html
You may try the following :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(page|page2)\.html$ https://www.example.com/$1.html [L,R]
If you want to redirect the whole site from http to https, you can use the following :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [NC,L,R]

Forcing https on the whole site but not on one folder

Could anyone tell me how I can force https on my whole website but not on a single folder or url.
At the moment I have this code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^thatmysite\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://thatmysite.com/$1 [R,L]
But if I add this second code in the root htaccess to remove https from the /thatsite.com/printing folder, I get a redirect loop because I am forcing on the code http to https and not https to http...
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-SSL} !on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^\/(printing)
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-SSL} =on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^\/(printing)
RewriteRule (.*) http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,R=301]
Do you know a way around this please? I have been looking all over the internet and cannot find a single good answer.

Try these 2 rules at top of your .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} !/printing [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /printing [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

I solved this issue by placing this code in an .htaccess file the root folder of the directory that hosts the http site (e.g. public_html)
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/TheFolderYouCanAccessWithoutHttp/
RewriteRule (.*) https://yourdomain.xyz/$1 [R=301,L]

Mod rewrite, redirect all to https except specific URI and redirect that URI from https to http

So I've been hitting a wall have have tried many different options, and configurations. I'm trying to redirect my site to https with the exception of one specific URI which I want to be redirected from https to http and then remain http. I would greatly appreciate any help. This is being done from the virtualhost configuration. Below are the settings I have tried in pairs with ssl.conf and mysite.conf. However I keep either getting a redirect loop or a page that doesn't load.
mysite.conf
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/example
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://my.site.com$1 [R,L]
or
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(/|page1|page2)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://my.site.com$1 [R,L]
or
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/example
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://my.site.com$1 [R,L]
or
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} =/example
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://my.site.com$1 [R,L]
Plus one of the above.
Then in ssl.conf
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} =/example
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://my.site.com$1 [R,L]

This should do it for you. Place the most specific rule (that for /example) first.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =on
RewriteRule ^/?example$ http://my.site.com/example [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/?example$
RewriteRule ^/?(.*)$ https://my.site.com/$1 [R=301,L]
This should work in either server (.conf) or directory (.htaccess) context.
