Page being redirected from http to https

    Hey everyone!

    I need a little help.

    I have a wordpress install that is using a page to obtain credit card info and hence needs to be behind https.
    The form is on this page at mysite.com/form/ and I need the page to be loaded using https://mysite.com/form/

    I don’t want to have a “landing” page, and then link to the secure page. The menu that link to this form page is generated automatically through wp_list_pages and thus brings in the non-https link. I figured an .htaccess rule to redirect the page, but they all end in loops since the page is redirecting to itself.

    I’ve tried this: (thinking I’m on the right track) but no luck.

    RewriteRule “^/billpay/water-bill(/.*)” “https://%{HTTP_HOST}$1” [R=301,L]

    I’ve also tried: redirect 301 /formpage/ https://www.newdomain.com/formpage/

    But that results in a loop because the page is in effect redirecting itself.

    I think the first example above is what I’m looking for, but I can’t seem to get it to work.

    Please help – I’m supposed to be going live and I can’t until I get this working behind ssl.

    Thanks for any help ya’ll can give me!

    I’ve got it resolved…

    Anyone else interested, you’ll need to create a conditional rewrite rule like:

    RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
    RewriteRule ^billpay/water-bill/(.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}/billpay/water-bill/$1 [R=301,L]

    This will automatically rewrite the url to https as long as the page is not already an https link. This conditional keeps it from causing a loop.

    Very handy to have this capability – thus allowing you to designate any page you want to be loaded with SSL security. Even if you type it without https.

    Cheers!
