forcing https

[Josh Stratton]

My employer recently setup an SSL certificate for a domain I just
setup using mod_wsgi, apache, and django. I've tried putting a
redirect in the wsgi.conf file to setup a redirect to https, but
doesn't seem to be working...

WSGIDaemonProcess test processes=1 threads=1
python-path=/home/net/public_html/:/home/net/public_html/managio
WSGIProcessGroup test
WSGIScriptAlias / /home/net/public_html/managio.wsgi
<Directory "/home/stratton/public_html">
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>

RedirectMatch http://(.*) https://$1

I'm new to SSL and I don't know if I'm missing a bigger issue, but
basically everything needs to redirect to SSL-enabled connection,
which I assume apache recognizes when the URL is prefixed with https.

The string matched against the pattern will not include 'http://host".
That is why it isn't going to match.

Googling yields various approaches to this. First is to add in to port
80 VirtualHost:

Redirect permanent / https://mail.nixcraft.com/

where target host would be changed to yours.

Another is to use:

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

I have..

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName my.server.name
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://my.server.name$1 [R,L]
</VirtualHost>

in my port 80 default virtual host and it works fine.
