Need some expert help please!

This is what our old .htacess redirects looked like:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^yoursitename\.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/[0-9]+\..+\.cpaneldcv$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/[A-F0-9]{32}\.txt(?:\ Comodo\ DCV)?$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://yoursitename.com/$1 [L,R=301]

What would be needed for redirect to https?

Thanks!

It so depends. Did you try changing RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://yoursitename.com/$1 [L,R=301] to RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://yoursitename.com/$1 [L,R=301] ?

I have

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.webhostingtalk\.nl$ [NC]
RewriteRule .? https://www.webhostingtalk.nl%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

And that works.

The forum is 100% https now. It wasn't that hard I must say. Some scripting that needed to be changed and also some hardcoded http// but that was it.

Next step, HTTP/2 but Varnish 4.x doesn't do that.

I figured out the issue!

The issue was Rocket Loader..

One of the things you need to do if you are switching to ssl with cloudflare is to just disable rocket loader and then re-enable. Otherwise it will use your old urls for jquery like:http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs.../jquery.min.js

This must use a separate cache..

I wish I got a pound for every issue cloudflare causes, i'd probably be able to retire by now.

I agree Paul. It can be a hassle but I believe the benefits for me at least out weight the negative aspects. It has been challenging and a learning process.

That being the case, why do so many insist upon using it?

For one it allows me to use external dns and having a very image heavy site it literally shaves seconds off page load time. The last reason I use it is for security reasons. I cannot count the amount of times this has saved me issues from ddos attacks and even many probes are dealt with by cloudflare before they even get to my server.

Yes it has been a pita but I am pretty happy with it overall when I have it functioning correctly.

Is it possible that on latest beta there its a problem with special characters while logged out?
