[support] http/s issues (still)

[sander-martijn]

After days of messing with this I finally figured it out.  It seems I 
needed to have the following lines in the rewrite in order for it to 
work properly with the drupal rewrite already in place:


It now works so I wanted to post this for anyone else trying to get ssl 
working on only certain sections of their sites.  Including the drupal 
rewrites already in .htaccess, my rewrites now look like this:

   # REWRITE TO NONSSL UNLESS IT'S THE FORM, FORM EDIT/RESULTS PAGES
   # OR SUPPORTING FILES
   RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^443$
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(contact/requestBook)
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(node/387/*)
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*css)
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*js)
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*gif)
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*png)
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*jpg)
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R=301,L]

   # REWRITE TO SSL IF IT'S THIS FORM
   RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} contact/requestBook
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R=301,L]

   # DRUPAL REWRITE
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
