Hi,
In the thread : https://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?t=8790
you state that to perform an https redirect from a VirtualHost port 80, you must:
| Code: | RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301] |
Now, only locally, for development, in the VirtualHost port 80 to redirect to https, I put the Redirect directive below and it seems to work very well.
| Code: | <VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName aviatechno
Redirect / https://aviatechno/
|
Is it better to use "your" RewriteRule and why?
Thank you. |

Hi Otomatic,
it isn't better. It is just "copy and paste".
With the variable HTTP_HOST, I can copy-paste it into any vhost without ever worrying about the hostname. Also RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on would prevent any loops, if you paste it into the SSL vhost.
In short, it is a no brainer 
Sure it could also be like
| Code: |
<If "%{SERVER_PROTOCOL} != 'HTTPS'">
Redirect "/" "https://www.example.com/"
</If>
