Question

can we write rewrite rules in apache based on the value available in cookie.
below is the sample cookie value (from firebug). In this i need to control my rewrite rule based on the value jforumUserId

JSESSIONID=96A0AFA5E2EE4500C8483679DA530041;    
__utma=111872281.1699469794.1302588971.1305090522.1305099051.66; 
__utmz=111872281.1302588971.1.1.utmcsr=(direct)|utmccn=(direct)|utmcmd=(none);
 jforumUserId=1;   __utmc=111872281  

i need to force page load to https if jforumUserId value is other than -1. Is this possible.

Answer 1

Try this:

RewriteCond %{HTTP:Cookie} (^|;\ *)jforumUserId=([^;\ ]+)
RewriteCond %2 !=-1
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R]
