htaccess exclude given REQUEST_URI

[gigamike]

Guys,

Been working several hours, i have a site which has SSL and im redirecting all non http to https i.e.

# http to https
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*) [URL]https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}[/URL] [R,L]

But is it possible to exclude a give REQUEST_URI not to redirect via https?

something like this

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/play/\d+$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) [URL]https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}[/URL] [R,L]

it always redirecting to http://domain.com/play/123 to https://domain.com/play/123, is it possible not to redirect a given REQUEST_URI

Thanks in advance,

Mike

Hi,
If I understand correctly, you do *NOT* want the /play/ directory to be changed / adjusted via your rewrite rules? You can simply add a .htaccess file to your /play/ directory with 'RewriteEngine Off' inside of it, and this should work.
