Hi All,
[SOLVED: SEE BOTTOM OF POST]
I searched for this answer, but didn't look at every search hit, so I hope I'm not being redundant.
I'm trying to force an entire site to redirect to SSL *and* use friendly urls.
This is in my web doc root .htaccess file:
# For Friendly URLs
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
# This doesn't preserve friendly urls, so it has to be fixed
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
SSL works fine if it's typed in specifically, or linked to.
But, when I go to a friendly url without SSL, it redirects to SSL correctly, but
doesn't use the friendly url. It goes back to the index.php? syntax (with https).
So somehow I have to combine them. Anyone know how to do that?
I've been scouring the web to no avail.
I'm using Evo.
Thanks!

[SOLVED]
A friendly sysadmin helped me with this. He did two things:
1. The SSL rewrite was placed above the friendly url rewrite
2. The SSL rewrite had an [L] placed at the end of the line, to stop SSL processing there.
The new one looks like this:
# HTTPS goes first, with ending [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
# For Friendly URLs
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
It works like a charm.
Ain't knowledge a wonderful thing?
Peter
