Order of mod_rewrite rules in .htaccess not being followed
- by user39461
We're trying to enforce HTTPS on certain URLs and HTTP on others. We are also rewriting URLs so all requests go through our index.php. Here is our .htaccess file.
# enable mod_rewrite
RewriteEngine on
# define the base url for accessing this folder
RewriteBase /
# Enforce http and https for certain pages
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(en|fr)/(customer|checkout)(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(en|fr)/(customer|checkout)(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
# rewrite all requests for file and folders that do not exists
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?query=$1 [L,QSA]
If we don't include the last rule (RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?query=$1 [L,QSA]), the HTTPS and HTTP rules work perfectly however; When we add the last three lines our other rules stop working properly.
For example if we try to goto https:// www.domain.com/en/customer/login, it redirects to
http:// www.domain.com/index.php?query=en/customer/login.
It's like the last rule is being applied before the redirection is done and after the [L] flag indicating the the redirection is the last rule to apply.
