I have a rule in my .htaccess to redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS, and I'm trying to exclude some specific URL from redirect, so I added the negation exclusion rule:

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/my_url
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

But this doesn't work, http://example.com/my_url redirects to front page example.com. Is it interfering with some other rules? All are standard Drupal core .htaccess.

You're right, there's interference with other Drupal rewrite rules. If you have clean URLs enabled, you're rewriting each request as an argument to index.php. Add an additional check to exclude this other rule.

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/my_url
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

  • As a general rule for testing redirects, you want to turn off all browser caching. Browsers cache HTTP 301/302 responses and it can confuse the state of your redirect testing. – Shawn Conn Apr 25 '16 at 19:34
  • See How long is a 302 redirect saved in browser? & How long do browsers cache HTTP 301s? – Shawn Conn Apr 25 '16 at 19:40
