What redirect rule should I use to replace this 301 redirect, in Apache?

  • 772

I am using this directive to redirect to HTTPS:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName              foo.bananas.net
        Redirect                301 / https://foo.bananas.net
</VirtualHost>

The problem is that when a path is used in the address bar, like http://bananas.net/webpage, it takes a pauses for a while before failing with https://bananas.netwebpage (no slash).

Should a rewrite rule be used instead? What should it be, and are there any differences in behaviour that I should be aware of?

apache-2.2 virtualhost rewrite 301-redirect

    You could use mod_rewrite, or you could use a RedirectMatch.

    e.g. something like this:

    RedirectMatch  301  ^(.*)  https://foo.bananas.net$1

    on second thoughts, just add a "/" to the end of the Redirect rule you already have:

        Redirect  301  /  https://foo.bananas.net/

    either should work.
