Hi there, I'm running a web service that will allow people to create their own "instances" of my application, running under their own domain. These people will create an A record to forward a subdomain of their main domain to my server.
The problem is that my server runs everything under SSL. So in my configuration for port 80, I have the following:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mydomain.com
ServerAlias www.mydomain.com
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule /(.*) https://mydomain.com/$1 [R=301]
</VirtualHost>
This has worked well to forward all requests from the http: to https: domain. But as I said, I now need to let any domain automatically forward to the secure version of itself.
Is there a rewrite rule that will let me take the incoming domain and rewrite it to the https version of same? So that the following matches would occur:
http://some.otherdomain.com -> https://some.otherdomain.com
http://evenanotherdomain.com -> https://evenanotherdomain.com
Thanks for your help! Apache mod_rewrite makes my brain hurt.
Aaron.
