Redirect all but one URL to https

[edvanleeuwen]

We have a (Drupal) site covs.nl on which all calls should be directed to https, excluding one which is a call to blad.covs.nl. We are using an A record to relate it to an externally hosted solution; this solution does not have SSL.

I have tried to adapt .htaccess with our needs. But the redirection fails for the one URL.

Relevant lines in .htaccess:

  RewriteEngine on

  # Set "protossl" to "s" if we were accessed via https://.  This is used later
  # if you enable "www." stripping or enforcement, in order to ensure that
  # you don't bounce between http and https.
  RewriteRule ^ - [E=protossl]
  RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
  RewriteRule ^ - [E=protossl:s]

  # Make sure Authorization HTTP header is available to PHP
  # even when running as CGI or FastCGI.
  RewriteRule ^ - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

  # Block access to "hidden" directories whose names begin with a period. This
  # includes directories used by version control systems such as Subversion or
  # Git to store control files. Files whose names begin with a period, as well
  # as the control files used by CVS, are protected by the FilesMatch directive
  # above.
  #
  # NOTE: This only works when mod_rewrite is loaded. Without mod_rewrite, it is
  # not possible to block access to entire directories from .htaccess, because
  # <DirectoryMatch> is not allowed here.
  #
  # If you do not have mod_rewrite installed, you should remove these  # directories from your webroot or otherwise protect them from being
  # downloaded.
  RewriteRule "(^|/)\." - [F]

  # If your site can be accessed both with and without the 'www.' prefix, you
  # can use one of the following settings to redirect users to your preferred
  # URL, either WITH or WITHOUT the 'www.' prefix. Choose ONLY one option:
  #
  # To redirect all users to access the site WITH the 'www.' prefix,
  # (http://example.com/... will be redirected to http://www.example.com/...)
  # uncomment the following:
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^blad\. [NC]
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
  RewriteRule ^ http%{ENV:protossl}://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=302]

  # To redirect all users to access the site WITHOUT the 'www.' prefix,
  # (http://www.example.com/... will be redirected to http://example.com/...)
  # uncomment the following:
  # RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
  # RewriteRule ^ http%{ENV:protossl}://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=302]
  # RewriteRule ^ https://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=302]

  # Blad to http
  #RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^blad\.

  # Direct all to SSL: https://www.drupalaid.com/blog/how-to-quickly-add-ssl-to-your-drupal-site
  RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^blad\.
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=302]

Is this the proper solution or is it not possible to use .htaccess for this purpose? What am I missing?

Hi,

Since the A record for the subdomain is pointed to another host, the .htaccess of your main website (and server) won't be used.
The browser will direct it's HTTP request to the server specified in the A record. And the .htaccess of that server will be used.

Stijn
