Mod_Rewrite Force HTTP On All Files Except One

Question

Hi,

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find it. I have a folder which when I visit loads in both HTTPS and HTTP.

I want all the files in that folder to load in HTTP except for one file. The file I need in in HTTPS is: login.php and this folder is called "forum". Also if it helps: All the files in the folder are *.php.

I was trying something along the lines of:

#RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
#RewriteRule ^/login.php$ - [L]

#RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^443$
#RewriteRule ^(/login.php) $ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [QSA,NC,R,L]

#RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [QSA,NC,R,L]

I'm a bit of an amateur when it comes to mod_rewrite so forgive me if the above is completely off. Also if you post a solution I would appreciate it if you post it with an explanation so I can actually LEARN how it works.

Thanks in advance! David

Answer 1

Give this a try:

 Options +FollowSymLinks
 RewriteEngine On


 # port 443 traffic to http://, except login.php
 RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^443$
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/login\.php$ [NC]
 RewriteRule .* http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

 # port 80 traffic for login.php to https://
 RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/login\.php$ [NC]
 RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

Try these rules:

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !=443
RewriteRule ^login\.php$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !=80
RewriteRule !^login\.php$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
