mod_rewrite doesn't fill the variables as HTTPS

• Additional Comments From klaus.wagner@it-austria.com 2002-10-28 14:42 ------- By debugging the Apache Webserver I found following Workaround for the Bug (allthough I don't even know if this is a bug anymore)

in Apache 1.3.26 it worked this way:

RewriteCond
%{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^.*$ /alternative.html

in Apache 2.0.43 the above syntax does
not work anymore: use the following instead.

RewriteCond %{LA-U:ENV:HTTPS}
!=on
RewriteRule ^.*$ /alternative.html

There are several Options >>

1. There is a bug in the mod_rewrite Variable Handling
2. The Apache Strukture has changed that much, that a variable handling as it is in Apache 1.3 is impossible and has to be done with this workaround. 3. It should allways have been that way and Apache 1.3 had a bug to show the variables anyway.

If
the points 2 or 3 apply I am a bit confused that the Apache Documentation lacks that much information. Nor there are any good examples showing the handling of these variables. It isn't
even mentioned that the prefixes LA-U and ENV can be combined.

Do you need help?
