An Apache module is enabled on our 1.3.34 https server, and not on our http server. The http and https servers serve the same document tree.

One .htaccess file in a users web tree (say, ~user/secure/.htaccess) contains directives that will only work on the https server. When a user visits the page on the http tree, they get an "Internal Server Error" message. This, I would expect.

However, I would like to make it so that when the user tries to view the page VIA http, he is automatically redirected to the https page using mod_rewrite. Now, the directives in the .htaccess file exist, and everything works. The problem is that even though I include the rewrite directives in the upper level (~user/.htaccess) file that will may http://server/~user/secure to https://server/~user/secure, the server still tries http://server/~user/secure/.htaccess first, and dies with the internal server error, so it does not end up redirecting.

Is there a simple way around this?

Thanks in advance..

Jason.
