Issues with mod_rewrite and mod_proxy applying Redirect and Proxy

I need to redirect from
http://myste.com/secure (if attempted) to:
https://mysite.com/secure

However, this directory does not exist on my apache, but does exist on
iis running on port 8080, and needs to be proxy'd to
http://mysite:8080/secure

I have the following code below, but the ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse
seems to be firing before Rewrite section. If the ProxyPass fires
first, the mod_rewrite does not come into effect, and it does not apply
the https rule.

Is there anyway to make rewrite to fire first?

Note: I've also tried adding another rewrite rule to proxy to my 8080
site after the redirect, but this didn't work either. I may not have
written it correctly. I'm running 1.3 series on Windows.

Any ideas are appreciated.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^/secure(.*)$ https://mysite.com/secure$1 [R]
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_proxy.c>
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPass /secure/ http://mysite.com:8080/secure/
ProxyPassReverse /secure/ http://mysite.com:8080/secure/

<Directory proxy:*>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>

</IfModule>

I assume you already have setup two vhost, one listening at port 80(http),
the other at port 443(https).
Move the rewrite directives into the the first <virtualhost *:80> ...
</virtualhost> and the proxy directive into the other: <virtualhost *:443>
.... </virtualhost> section.

Syntax looks unfamiliar, I 'ld have used
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PROTOCOL}!^https$ [NC]
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod...ml#RewriteCond

> RewriteRule ^/secure(.*)$ https://mysite.com/secure$1 [R]
> </IfModule>

> <IfModule mod_proxy.c>

> ProxyPass /secure/ http://mysite.com:8080/secure/

Apache and ISS are running on the same machine?

HansH

That worked, thanks a lot!

Yes, I'm running IIS and Apache on the same machine
Yes, apache is listening on both ports 80 and 443
I have the IIS running on ports 8080 and 442

I just got the syntax from the web and works OK.
Thanks again for your help
