[support] https and htaccess

[tony maciejowski]

This thread got me to experimenting. My site is at www.mysite.com/drupal
so I uncommented this in .htaccess
  # Modify the RewriteBase if you are using Drupal in a subdirectory or in a
  # VirtualDocumentRoot and the rewrite rules are not working properly.
  # For example if your site is at http://example.com/drupal uncomment and
  # modify the following line:
   RewriteBase /drupal

I then tried out both of these possibilities:

  # If your site can be accessed both with and without the 'www.' prefix,
> you
>   # can use one of the following settings to redirect users to your
> preferred
>   # URL, either WITH or WITHOUT the 'www.' prefix. Choose ONLY one option:
>   #
>   # To redirect all users to access the site WITH the 'www.' prefix,
>   # (http://example.com/... will be redirected to
> http://www.example.com/...)
>   # adapt and uncomment the following:
>   # RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com$ [NC]
>   # RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
>   #
>   # To redirect all users to access the site WITHOUT the 'www.' prefix,
>   # (http://www.example.com/... will be redirected to
> http://example.com/...)
>   # uncomment and adapt the following:
>   # RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.com$ [NC]
>   # RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
>
> Now I can access the site with mysite.com and http://www.mysite.com
but *not *with www.mysite.com.

Now, of course, it could be our astaro firewall, which seems probable but
just wanted to make sure:
The firewall says :
Astaro Security Gateway Version 8 http://www.astaro.com
