Rewrite working/not working in different versions

[duncancumming Profile]

In version 3.1.0.61, this works. I want to redirect anyone on a domain like secure-blah to http://blah for all requests apart from those for the /checkout/ and /confirmation/ and /assets/ folders. e.g. if you're on http://secure-blah.example.com/foobar/ I want to redirect you to http://blah.example.com/foobar/

Code: Select all

   RewriteCond %{HTTP:Host} secure-(.*)     
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(?!/(?:checkout|confirmation|assets))(.*)$
   RewriteRule .? http://%1%2 [R=301,L]

This doesn't seem to work on other computers that have more recent versions. For instance I know it doesn't work on 3.1.0.82.

I don't want to use the %{HTTPS} directive to do this, as basically people can access our secure-blah domains on both http and https. So trying to do it all just by looking at the REQUEST_URI.

Is there a flaw in the regex? Or some kind of bug in either v 3.1.0.61 that allows this to work, or v 3.1.0.82 that doesn't allow it?

Hello,


You may see the change log here. There's nothing in those 20 builds that could affect it.
Please, provide rewrite.log for the testing request and we'll see what happens. Logging issues described in FAQ

So for instance here's the log showing it working on my machine:

And here's a log from another machine where it isn't working. In this case, the user isn't trying the secure-m domain, just going direct to m.example.com. It's as if it's ignoring the first RewriteCond against the %{HTTP:Host}

User ends up on a page saying something like 'The document has moved'. It includes a link that goes to http:/// (notice the 3rd / )

ok, we found the error. We had a comment on the same line as the first RewriteCond:

RewriteCond %{HTTP:Host} secure-(.*) # eg secure-m, secure-es-m

Taking the comment out fixed the problem!
