How to setup up .htaccess rewrites for http and https on the same site?

Question

Im having some issues with htaccess rewrites i need to redirect different parts of my site to https rather than http, for example login and news sections. Im not sure how to go about doing this in the correct mannor.

So at the moment I have

RewriteRule   ^login/?$  index.php?p=login [R,L]

I would like to redirect this to https, I have tried the following but it doesnt seem to work

RewriteRule ^login/?$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}/index.php?p=login [R,L]

But it doesnt seem to work. am i missing something? I have rewrite on and all other settings as they work. What am I missing?

Also is there anyway to get htaccess to use a different set of rules it https is set to when it is not?

Update:

So what I want to do is rewrite http://www.site.tld/login/ rewrite to https://www.site.tld/login/code and then further rewrite to https://www.site.tld/index.php?p=login. So the user sees: https://www.site.tld/login/ but it is actually doing https://www.site.tld/index.php?p=login

Answer 1

First, redirect /login to https /login/code

RewriteRule ^login/?$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/login/code  [R=301,L]

You can also force /login/code to redirect to https in case the type in http /login/code:

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} ^off$
RewriteRule ^login/code$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/login/code  [R=301,L]

Then, you can rewrite /login/code

RewriteRule ^login/code$ /index.php?p=login [R,L]

Answer 2

Not sure how to do it all with re-writes. I have the following in the header of my php files:

  if( $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] == 80 && $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']!="localhost") 
 {
   header('Location: https://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
 }

And then this in my .htaccess

#re-write /login/username to /login.htm?login=username
RewriteRule ^/?login/([^/\.]+)/?$ /login.htm?login=$1 [NC,L]
#re-write /login and /login/ account-login.htm
RewriteRule ^/?login/?$ /account-login.htm [NC,L]
