Hi there,

i've tried that and had no joy, what i am trying now is to have a rewrite 
condition based on the first part of the query string.

e.g:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} =?APPURI(.*)
RewriteRule APPURI=http: APPURI=https: [QSA,L]

However i can't get the rule to kick in for the condition, it seems to ignore 
it (probably becauses its wrong !!) and tries to apply the rule to the uri. e.g 
from the rewrite log:

10.101.212.165 - - [21/Dec/2006:13:04:35 +0000] 
[dit.hmrc.gov.uk/sid#11b360][rid#9d7c88/initial] (3) applying pattern 'APPURI' 
to uri '/service/validation/validator.js'

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

Steve

Sort of.  But it is hard to tell where your authentication plug-in is
acting here.  What I would do is simply tack a ? on the end of the URL
when redirecting from HTTP to HTTPS.  This will eliminate the query
string and hopefully force your plug-in to recreate it.  And it also
has the benefit of making sure your don't accidentally have people
submit sensitive information in the query string to the non-secure
server.
