https redirect for Network Solutions

Question

I am using Network Solutions as a hosting provider with a UNIX hosting package. I need to redirect certain pages to https (login, etc). After going through a lot of testing,

Answer 1

Use the following to force only certain pages to https. In your section to force http, just include the sections/pages that force https in a negated format.

Something like this, perhaps: (.htaccess)

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

# Force https for mode= login, account or register, and the /admin directory:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} mode=(login|account|register) [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} admin/
RewriteRule (.+) https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

# force http for all NON login, account, register (query string)
# and anything else outside the /admin directory
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !mode=(login|account|register)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !admin/
RewriteRule (.+) http://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
