apache rewrite question

Hello,

Here in my debian lenny box rewrite stuff is working well in .htaccess file.

For viewvc ( web based svn ) I have the following config . ( Not a vhost )

``````````````````````````
ScriptAlias /svn /usr/lib/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi

SSLRequireSSL
AuthType Basic
AuthName "requires a password"
AuthUserFile /home/svn/PASSWD
Require valid-user

```````````````````````````````

So from both internet and intranet viewvc requires https://
I wounder if there is any way to redirect http to https when visit
http:///svn or http:///svn in the above config ?
Is it possible ?
Thanks

1) Turn off SSLRequiredSSL
2) Add the appropriate rewrite rule:

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/svn
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (.*)
RewriteRule ^/svn/(.*) https://%1/svn/$1

If that doesn't work (thats off the top of my head) turn on the rewrite
log and see why.

Cheers

Tom

Hello Tom,

I have inserted the rules but no effect. I'll look into the log. But I
like to mention that I get partial success with

Redirect permanent /svn https://192.168.1.1/svn

non http version redirect to https://192.168.1.1/svn BUT browser (
firefox) reports

``````````````````
The page isn't redirecting properly
```````````````````

and apache error log says

`````````````````
URL /svn/
```````````````
