Re: Redirection for SSL only authentication

Hi,
I had somthing simular:
in my .htaccess i had:
-------------
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}:443%{REQUEST_URI}
[QSA,R=permanent,L]
--------------

this schould rewrite the e.g. http://myserver/myfsite/download/private/
to https://http://myserver/myfsite/download/private/ if you place the
..htacces file in the private folder(tested on windows xp pro with
apache 2.0.48)

Thanks, but i've already got the redirection part sorted out.
What I want is some way to prevent it trying to authenticate till _after_ it
redirects
while still having all the configuration in a single .htaccess file.
Currently it will authenticate to do the redirect and then again when its
redirected
to the secure location so the credentials are passed in cleartext on the
first authentication.
