mod_rewrite, redirecting https

How would I go about redirecting 1 directory to https?

For example, http://www.site.com/mail would redirect to
https://www.site.com/mail

Ive tried numerous things with mod_rewrite but I cant get them to
work, maybe Im putting them in the wrong spot.

In your "normal" (non-HTTPS) part of the configuratin use
<Location /mail>
Redirect /mail https://.....
</Location>

It should work.

I get a Redirection limit error. I had it redirect to https://site.com/mail
but that causes the above Redirect to happen again.... and again.... etc.

Any ideas?

I'll assume that you had already tried this then:
RewriteRule http://www.site.com/mail https://www.site.com/mail

What about adding a condition checking the protocol? Now sure if this is
correct since I've never had to do this...

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PROTOCOL} ^(http|HTTP)$
RewriteRule ^mail(/.*)? https://www.site.com/mail$1

Ive tried both of these. It appears my rewrite rules dont work,
because I cant even make simple ones work....

Ill look more into it.

You didn't listen to what he said. He said to put this in the NON-HTTPS
configuration section, which probably means inside a <virtualhost> definition.
I bet that you put it directly into the main server.

Try this:
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PROTOCOL} ^http$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^mail(/.*)? https://www.site.com/mail$1 [R,L]

Note the flags at the ends of the lines. If that doesn't work, try this:

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$
RewriteRule ^/mail/(.*)$ https:/www.site.com/mail/$1 [R,L]

I got it working. Stupid me, I needed to add RewriteOptions inherit in
each of the virtual hosts...... yea i know, let the flaming begin.
haha.
