Regex - how to combine everything except a specific template

I am using Apache and I want to redirect all received requests to the ssl virtual host.

So, I have the following line in a regular http virtual host:

RedirectMatch (. *) Https://www.mydomain.com $ 1

which usually replace everything with $ 1.

It works great. But now I need to access a specific CGI that cannot be on the SSL virtual host. Therefore, I would like to redirect all requests except the following:

" http://www.mydomain.com/mycgi/cgi.php "

I have a search on this forum and you found a message about excluding regular expressions, but no one is working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank. Alain

Apache 2.2 and later have negative regex support. If you are using Apache 2.2 or later, this should work:

RedirectMatch ^/(?!mycgi/cgi.php)(.*) https://www.mydomain.com/$1

I believe RedirectMatch is a short sorting scheme . This means that if you add another RedirectMatch before your match, only the first match will be executed. so something like ...

RedirectMatch (/mycgi/cgi.php) http://www.mydomain.com$1 
RedirectMatch (.*) https://www.mydomain.com$1
+1
