How do you retrieve the current domain URL?

[popular]

Hello,

I am having a problem in that I want to redirect some of my pages to their https equivalent based on what domain they are on. So I want all pages involving shop.cart to be redirected say from http://ja.mysite.com/blahblah?shop.cart to https://ja.mysite.com/blahblah?shop.cart but when I try and do this via htaccess or PHP I get the result that the domain is always www. even when it is ja. or fr. etc. I guess this must be down to the CDN but there must be a way of recognising which domain I am currently in? Thank you for your time.

Hi,

You can use %{HTTP:X-GT-Lang} variable to know the selected language in .htaccess file.

Hi Edvard, thank you for the reply. I am finding it hard to understand. Could you please show me what I should put in the htaccess to say redirect:

http://ja.popularseeds.com/contact-us to https://ja.popularseeds.com/contact-us

and for that to be active only for the ja domain?

[Edvard]

It can be something like this:

RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-GT-Lang} ^ja$ # if language is ja and
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} ^off$ # if protocol is not https
RewriteRule ^contact-us$ https://ja.domain.com/contact-us [R=301,L]

I'm not sure, but it should be possible to use %{HTTP:X-GT-Lang} in the RewriteRule, something like this

RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-GT-Lang} !^$ # if there is selected language and
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} ^off$ # if the protocol is not https
RewriteRule ^contact-us$ https://%{HTTP:X-GT-Lang}.domain.com/contact-us [R=301,L]

It should be also possible to do this:
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-GT-Lang} ^(.+)$ # if there is selected language and
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} ^off$ # if the protocol is not https
RewriteRule ^contact-us$ https://%1.domain.com/contact-us [R=301,L]

Hi Edvard,

I'm afraid I'm getting 500 server error with both versions. Is there a better or working way in which I can redirect certain URLs to HTTPS and keep the domain so http://ja.popularseeds.com will redirect to https://ja.popularseeds.com?

Hello,

The third version is close and redirects from http://ja.popularseeds.com to https://.popularseeds.com/contact-us so it is missing the domain but it is nearly there. Do you know how I can get the domain in there? Thank you for your time.

[Edvard]

I'm not sure about your server specifics and cannot tell exactly how it should be, you will need to play with it little more, but you can do the redirect easily in PHP, you can check the selected language using $_SERVER['HTTP_X_GT_LANG'] variable and make the appropriate redirect using

header("Location: $redirect_url");
exit;

Hi Edvard, thank you for the help. Is there any way I can hire you for an hour or 2 to complete the necessary redirects?

[Edvard]

You may contact 2glux.com to do the configuration for you.

Thanks!

Hi Edvard, thank you for that. I will have the SSL wildcard cert installed and then try the redirection stuff again. I will send the details through in the contact form.

Anthony.

Thanks Edvard, I've just send all the info I have for the certificate through to you via your contact form. Please can you install that in my popularseeds.com enterprise installation. Please email me at [email protected] if there is anything missing.

Hi,
Can you please send an email with SSL certificate as an attachment?

Hello, I have sent SSL info inside a text file to you. Please let me know if that is insufficient.
