url-rewriting

I have this rule: RewriteRule ^(about|installation|mypages|privacy|terms)(/)*$ /index.php?kind=portal&id=1&page=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L] How can I change it so that it would work only for a specific domain, www.domain.com for example? You need a rewrite condition: RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain.com$ before your rewrite rule.

This works fine for most document types (.aspx, .xap, .htm, .ico)

I am trying to protect the ~/public_html/dev directory using http auth basic, but to make that secure I want to run it over ssl. The middle section of the below .htaccess file switches to https if the request URI begins with /dev and works. The last section of the file works as well but does not work properly with the https redirect. I basically want to be able to type http://www.example.com/dev/some_sub_dir/ and be redirected to https://www.example.com/dev/some_sub_dir/ and prompted for the http auth username and password. What currently happens is if I go to http://www.example.com/dev/some
