Well, I guess it would help if I was on the latest version of Pound, AND
setup my config correctly. I was stuck on trying to figure out how to
create a URL pattern that would match anything BUT a particular
pattern. Finally realized to move the URL pattern into the other
Service block that points to the back end, and then put the Service
block that does the redirect after that so that anything that falls
through redirects. So, now this works exactly like I want, redirecting
all requests not in the 'secure' directory back to HTTP, while
maintaining the rest of their path.
Service
HeadRequire "Host:\s*www\.myserver\.org.*"
URL "^/secure.*"
BackEnd
Address 127.0.0.1
Port 3001
End
End
Service
HeadRequire "Host:\s*(www\.)?myserver\.org.*"
Redirect "http://www.myserver.org";
End
