I've not dealt much with
IIS rewrites, but I was able to import (and edit)
the rewrites found throughout
the cake structure (.htaccess files). I'll explain my configuration a little, then get to
the meat of
the problem.
So my Cake php framework is working well and made possible by
the url rewrite module 2.0 which I have successfully installed and configured for
the site.
The way cake is set up,
the webroot folder (for cake, not iis) is set as
the default folder for
the site and exists inside
the following hierarchy
inetpub
-wwwroot
--cakePhp root
---application
----models
----views
----controllers
----WEBROOT // *** HERE ***
---cake core
--SomeOtherSite Folder
For this implementation,
the url rewrite module uses
the following rules (from
the web.config file) ...
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Imported Rule 1" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^(.*)$" ignoreCase="false" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="index.php?url={R:1}" appendQueryString="true" />
</rule>
<rule name="Imported Rule 2" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^$" ignoreCase="false" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="/" />
</rule>
<rule name="Imported Rule 3" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" ignoreCase="false" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="/{R:1}" />
</rule>
<rule name="Imported Rule 4" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^(.*)$" ignoreCase="false" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="index.php?url={R:1}" appendQueryString="true" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
I've Installed my SSL certificate and created a
site binding so that if i use
the https:// protocol, everything is working fine within
the site. I fear that attempts I have made at creating a rewrite are too far off base to understand results.
The rules need to switch protocol without affecting
the current set of rules which pass along url components to index.php (which is cake's entry point).
My goal is this- Create a couple of rewrite rules that will [#1] redirect all user pages (in this general form http://domain.com/users/page/param/param/?querystring=value ) to use SSL and then [#2} direct all other https requests to use http (is this is even necessary?).
[e.g.
http://domain.com/users/login ,
http://domain.com/users/profile/uid:12345 ,
http://domain.com/users/payments?firsttime=true]
]
to all use SSL
[e.g.
https://domain.com/users/login ,
https://domain.com/users/profile/uid:12345 ,
https://domain.com/users/payments?firsttime=true]
]
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
