.htaccess redirect subfolder to HTTPS

Question

I'm trying to write a RewriteRule for my .htaccess file. Specifically, whenever a user accesses a specific subdirectory, I would like it to Rewrite to force an HTTPS connection.

For example, whenever someone accesses: http://www.mydomain.com/subdirectory (and any other sub-directories of that "subdirectory").

I'd like it to rewrite to https://www.mydomain.com/subdirectory

I've tried the following, but it appears to create a loop:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.mydomain.com/subdirectory/$1 [R=301,L]

Also, this .htaccess file is placed in the root of my domain.

Any ideas on how to modify my RewriteRule?

Many Thanks!

Answer 1

Try This

RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]

Answer 2

I would put this into the domain's root directory:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(subdirectory/.*)$ https://www.mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Answer 3

Try

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.mydomain.com/subdirectory/$1 [R=301,L]

Answer 4

This work for me, this allow you to redirect to https a specific folder, just add an htaccess file inside of the folder with the following content:

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

Answer 5

Add the lines given below to .htaccess file of that subdirectory:

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.domain.com/subdirectory/$1 [L,R=301]

Answer 6

Ahh, its a combo of the two. MonoMano - you've omitted the subdirectory in the first part of the RewriteRule, therefore directing ALL traffic to the HTTPS subdomain address. I found that checking for 'off' was more reliable than checking for !=on, dont ask me why!

You'd want to add the subdirectory back in as per Floern's response, see below:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(subdirectory/.*)$ https://www.mydomain.com/subdirectory/$1 [R=301,L]
