Hi all, This IS an apache-related question, even if it might not sound like it at first, so please bear with me :)
I'm maintaining a site whose http/https configuration is all muddled up, partly because of the (lack of) facilities available in the CMS used to deliver it. However, I'm considering an apache-based solution which might solve things, and I'd like some feedback. The main problems revolve around the two following requirements (which are global to any properly built site using https): 1. Links (whether resident on an http or https delivered page) should begin "http://..."; or "https://";, as appropriate - i.e. dependent on which 'set' the target page belongs to. As far as I can think, those two sets are completely distinct, so this should not be a significant problem to resolve. 2. Certain resources (e.g. images, css, etc.) need to be requested via "http://..."; OR "https://..."; dependant on how the requesting page has been delivered. So, assuming I can solve problem 1 within the confines of the CMS, I'm thinking problem 2 can be resolved using RewriteRule with an appropriate condition on HTTP_REFERER. My one slight concern is the performance hit, although I'm guessing this should be minuscule, especially in relation to the hit of using https in the first place. Any thoughts?
