Forcing http to https redirects and the affect on pagespeed mod...

[Cameron Kellett]

Hi,

I have have successfully enabled SSL settings for pagespeed  running on apache. However, forcing a http to https re-direct via apache's RewriteEngine prevents pagespeed mod from fetching the required resources.

To make changes to filter settings I basically need to disable the redirect, manually flush for it to work. I can then re-enable the re-direct.I assume pagespeed is looking for original http resources, being forced to the https domain and therefore not finding the resources.

This obviously causes issues whenever pagespeed automatically flushes cache.

Is there a domain mapping configuration I need to use to work around this???

Cheers...

Hi
Have you auth the https domain?

ModPageSpeedDomain http*://*.mydomain.com is the better way to do, I think, this auth the http and https and al the subdomains.
And to redirect http to https don´t forget to set R=301 in the rewrite rule.

Thanks for the assistance and R=301 heads up. 

Unfortunately that didn't fix the issue. Btw, I have set the ModPagespeedMapOriginDomain "http://cameronkellett.com" "https://cameronkellett.com"

I tried the wild card you suggested for ModPagespeedDomain as well as setting the domains explicitly. (This is ignored anyway due to the domain being already mapped via the ModPagespeedMapOriginDomain setting)

I currently have the redirect commented out. However the redirect to https still works...I don't know why. I assume it's been cached during the DNS propagation process.

I tried the site https://cameronkellett.com and had no error. Resources from these site become rewrited, resources from other sites not, as spected.
These are the enabled filters i can see with https://cameronkellett.com?PageSpeedFilters=+debug

Thanks for confirming it works. I currently have the redirect RewriteEngine disabled. 

I am now thinking that ModPagespeedMapOriginDomain  takes care of the redirect/rewrite. So by enabling my own http to https redirect I am creating a conflict.
