That rewrite rule should retain the query string. Have you tested whether
the .htaccess rewrite works if you make the initial connection over https?
Try adding another rewrite rule to the .htaccess. For example,
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} =testing=123
RewriteRule ^ . [F]
If you then issue a "GET /category/?testing=123" do you get a 403 Forbidden
status in response?
