I’m trying to mod re-write to a specific sub folder called /checkout this has an SSL certificate attached for https

So I have this in the root folder of my site –

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f

# in http: force secure.html to https
RewriteCond %{server_port} !=443
RewriteCond $1 ^([^/]+)$ [NC]
# this kinda works below but is resolving to index2.php and is showing in the url so not really working yet
RewriteRule checkout/([^/]+)\.html$ https://mysite.com/checkout/index2.php [L]

Except that instead of showing something like

https://mysite.com/checkout/index.html

it shows

https://mysite.com/checkout/index2.php

(index2.php is a test url btw)

I’ve also tried amending the .htaccess in the sub folder to to something like

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{server_port} !=443
RewriteCond $1 ^([^/]+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ https://mysite.com/checkout/index2.php [L]

I just want to process

https://mysite.com/checkout/index.html or https://mysite.com/checkout/about-us.html as the same I would in the root like this
https://mysite.com/index.html => https://mysite.com/index.php (and then get the variables etc)

ie

 RewriteRule ^/?(catalogue-page)/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+) index2.php?friendly_url=$1&catalogue_id=$2&view=catalogue&categoryid=$3&subcategoryid=$4&subjectid=$5&item=$6

I think that https is more complex.
Any pointers/help etc much appreciated

    Your RewriteRule seems to indicates that you are trying to take a non-secure url and display a different page via https, this in itself is not possible. Having said that your description doesn’t sound like that is the overall aim.

    If you wish to force non-secure URLs to be secure, this is fine and it’s also fine to want requests for index.html to server index.php. It’s not however possible to do this all in one fell swoop.

    # first force urls to be secure.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !=443
RewriteRule ^checkout/([^/\.]+)/?$ https://mysite.com/%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

# now rewrite them, so that the requests all get served through the front controller
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^checkout/([^/\.]+)/?$ /checkout/index2.php [L]
