Question

What I’m trying to do is serve the folder /soap OR pages that have /?p=uploads in title over http, the rest of the site over https.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /


RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)(p=uploads)(&|$) [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteRule ^ - [E=IS_HTTP:1]

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 443
RewriteRule ^soap/?(.*) http://www.example.com/soap/$1 [R,L]

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/soap

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [R,L]

It seems to work for the soap folder but not pages with /?p=uploads

Answer 1

Here is a way to do it:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}  !soap/?      [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !p=uploads/? [NC] 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$  https://www.example.com/$1    [L,R=301,QSA]

All URLs are redirected to HTTPS, except those that have /soap or /?p=uploads
