htaccess Rewrite before Authentication - HTTP to HTTPS

Error

When having an "htaccess" file which contains "Rewrite" then "Authentication" the Authentication is done before the rewrite 

This happenes when you need to make sure the user is authenticating on HTTPS instead of HTTP so you need to do the rewrite before the HTTP Basic Authentication


RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}



AuthType Basic
AuthName "protected area"
AuthUserFile /FILE_PATH
Require user USER


Solution

There are 2 solutions for Apache 2.2 installations


Solution #1 - Easiest

Just enclose the authentication by a <FilesMatch "."> block

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}


<FilesMatch ".">

AuthType Basic
AuthName "protected area"
AuthUserFile /FILE_PATH
Require user USER

</FilesMatch>


Solution #2

Require SSL and point the error document to a file which redirects to HTTPS

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

SSLRequireSSL
ErrorDocument 403 /PATH_TO_A_PAGE_TO_REDIRECT_TO_HTTPS


AuthType Basic
AuthName "protected area"
AuthUserFile /FILE_PATH
Require user USER

Updated (v1.8.2): I have changed the file extention to "*.jpg" again, and add it a .nomedia file to hide the folder. In theory, it's compatible with the previous extention "*.fakku", but I'm not sure, so please write me your feedbacks.

Actualización: Encontré un pequeño problema con la galería  así que descarga esta nueva versión si descargaste la versión previa (v1.8).

Actualización: He cambiado las extensiones de las imagenes nuevamente a ".jpg" y agregado un archivo .nomedia para ocultar la carpeta. En teoría es compatible con la extensión anterior ".fakku", pero no estoy seguro, así que por favor escríbanme sus feedbacks.

Esta última semana tuve problemas con la conexión a Internet de mi casa y no pude hacer nada... me sentí como en el episodio de South Park - Over logging...

Bueno, las buenas noticias es que he instalado Eclipse y el Android SDK en la laptop de mi trabajo, por lo que tendré más tiempo para programar.

A fresh new look for Google Play

Whether you’re in the mood to listen to Justin Timberlake’s new album, read Harlan Coben’s latest bestseller or discover a new game to play, you want the experience of finding and making your purchase to be quick and easy. Today we’ve started rolling out a redesigned Google Play store on Android phones and tablets that is simple, clean and — most importantly — helps you find great entertainment, fast.

The new design focuses on bigger images that jump off the page. Similarly themed content is grouped together so you can hone in on a magazine to read or an app to try. As you move down the page, new recommendations continue to appear so there is always more to see and explore. We’ve also simplified purchasing so you can breeze through checkout and get to enjoying your movie rental or other content.

The redesigned Google Play store app starts rolling out today for Android phones and tablets running Android 2.2 (Froyo) and above. People around the world should see it over the next few weeks. Get ready for a simpler Google Play.
