Set apache redirect from http to https for a specific url

Question

I would like to redirect any URL path that is having a /test to https://localhost/test. Also, if an url is /test?user=123 it has to be redirected to https://localhost/test?user=123 or rather if the url is /test/test_db/user?id=123&pwd=123 has to be redirected to https://localhost/test/user/test_db/user?id=123&pwd=123

All other requests of any kind has to be redirected to a html page that says "Access denied" in the root folder(http://localhost/accessdenied.html).

How do I achieve this with RedirectMatch in apache. I tried something like

RedirectMatch permanent ^test/(.*)$ https://localhost/test/$1

Which did not work.

Answer 1

I wonder if this is better as a ServerFault question.

Anyway:
I don't know how you can achieve this with RedirectMatch, but I do know how you can do this with ModRewrite:

RewriteEngine On$
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off$
RewriteRule ^/bla https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]$

This is a fairly generic form that'll work for any HTTP Host (as I don't know any details about your host) and will redirect anything that matches with bla at the start of the URL and isn't already Https, with arguments and everything.
