Re: Securing one page

[Carlos Ramirez]

Another 'quick' solution is mod_rewrite....I've encountered the same type of situation where a customer needs only one page secured and needs it now....not the best solution but it works ;)

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URi} ^/shop/whatever.html$
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule  ^/(.*) https://yourdomain.com/$1 [R]

This ensures that the whatever.html page is viewed securely regardless if it is accessed via http or not.

It's just to save me time really.  I have a few shop sites to move to a
new server and that's how its been setup.  I can't be bother tolling
through loads of code to change everything.

I'll do it properly some other time.
