Yes - if neither are on you can get to both no problem. Furthermore if you turn on https to the page then http works until you click on that link at which point it goes to https no problem. But then when you click on any other link it stays in https. Perhaps another module is causing the problem, but I can't figure out which one that would be.
If I can't get it to work then I'll probably turn on https for that link and not redirect people back to http. It's not ideal but better than having people submit cc info insecurely. I assume that this is a form that won't be used by a lot of people and that those that do will do it towards the end of their visit. but it's never ideal to make assumptions about your client's customers.

Hi,
When you turn off both securepages and the apache .htaccess stuff can you got to both the http and https pages without being redirected to the other?
I think this problem is nothing to do with securepages or the .htaccess stuff, it is something else in your configuration.

Securepages doesn't work properly. It's actually exactly the same problem I see with my apache directives - when redirecting back from https it results in an endless loop of redirects, resulting in apache reporting "this page is redirecting in a way that will never resolve" - or maybe it's firefox that gives up I can't remember.
And I've seen the other post, but I definitely am not going down the multi-site path for one page. That's like killing a cockroach with a shotgun.

Thanks - that is the easiest way, but only works if you want your entire site in https (https vastly slows down your site so I would almost never want that). I need only one page to be https. Redirecting TO https is no problem: RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$ RewriteRule ^(contact/requestBook)$ https://s24863.gridserver.com/$1 [R=301,L] Redirecting back FROM https when you go to any of the other sites is what doesn't work - i either get an endless loop (resulting in apache failing) or it stays in https all the time: # Redirect non-secure pages to HTTP if requested by HTTPS RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^443$ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^contact/requestBook$ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://s24863.gridserver.com/$1 [R=301,L] It has something to do with the way drupal rewrites urls - going to https the url is one thing but by the time it gets to the next condition (on the following line) to rewrite back to http if necessary it thinks it's something else. so while it matches contact/requestBook as the request URI it won't match NOT contact/requestBook for the return url.
I still haven't gotten this working and the securepages maintainer says he can't reproduce the problem with the module. And the site goes live very soon. I've seen many issues posted both on the drupal.org forums on problems with the apache solution above as well as on the module page for the maintainer - so I believe it has something to do with clean urls or someething like that and that there IS a solution - I just can't figure out what it is.
Thanks .sander

Your situation may be vastly different from ours, so this may be of no help at all. But here is how we redirect HTTP to HTTPS for our sites using Apache 2:
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName www.example.com Redirect / https://www.example.com/
</VirtualHost>
