How to keep one page of a site secure using mod_rewrite

  • 772

I'd like redirect access to a url from http to https for only a couple of pages on my website.

I know how to do it for a whole site using the rewrite in apache virtual hosts:

RewriteEngine On
  RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
  RewriteRule (.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI}

But is there a way to do it for one page of the site? E.g. "www.example.com/protected-page"

virtualhost https mod-rewrite

    Try this

    RewriteRule ^/protected-page/(.*) https://example.com/protected-page/$1 [R,L]

  2. I ended up doing something different, and secured everything but a page that didn't work if it was protected:

      RewriteEngine On
  RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^(.*loadFormImages.*)
  RewriteRule (.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
  #RewriteLog /opt/tmp/rewrite.log
  #RewriteLogLevel 3
