# No https redirect on cached sites

* Hi
* I noticed that the HTTPS redirect for cached URLs does not work.
Modern browsers
do redirect automatically, but not older browsers or on my Android phone.
* With the default settings, this URL will be returned;
[http://SITE/wp-content/cache/all//index.html](http://SITE/wp-content/cache/all//index.html)
* If I use something the following code in the .htaccess to force HTTPS, it will
return the un-cached version.
* ```
# BEGIN Redirect HTTP to HTTPS
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
# END Redirect HTTP to HTTPS
```
* I could not find an option to redirect to the cached site.
Could you include
an option to activate redirect to HTTPS in your plugin? Thanks. Best, Daniel

* Hi Emre
* Thanks for the fast reply.
Unfortunately, the solution does not work. Tested
with: [https://htaccess.madewithlove.com/](https://htaccess.madewithlove.com/)
* If I go to
`http://site.com` I’ll get
* ```
RewriteRule ^(.*) "/wp-content/cache/all/$1/index.html" [L]
The new url is http://SITE.com/wp-content/cache/all//index.html
The tests are stopped because of the L in your RewriteRule options.
```
* I should not add it to the WP fastest cache section. If I add it on top of everything,
I’ll get:
* ```
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
The new url is https://SITE.com/
Test are stopped, a redirect will be made with status code 301
```
* But it should be **https**://SITE.com/wp-content/cache/all//index.html
* My .htaccess file:
* ```

* your 301 redirection rule must be as below.
* ```
# BEGIN Redirect HTTP to HTTPS

* Thanks. It worked but not the way I like to have it.
It should redirect to https
AND redirect to the cached files…
