how can I serve my django website with both http and https

Ok! for the 2nd config. for e.g. if I want to redirect urls starting with http://example.com/secure/ to https then in httpd.conf, I would use:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^secure//*

RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-SSL} !on

RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

I believe you mean: ^secure/.* but yes; precisely.

I suppose ^secure/.* will match strings like /secure.something whereas, I want to lay my secure urls under /secure/ as:

https://example.com/secure/voting

https://example.com/secure/transcation

so what reg. expr.?

The / in the regular expression means that a slash is required, so /secure.something won't match ^secure/.*.

If it's not working, try escaping the slash (^secure\/.*), although I think that in this particular context it's not actually necessary.

oh! I got confused between forward(/) & backslash(\). How Silly!

One more thing, in the webfaction cp, for https I've created a website record for my application but only mapped it on /secure path. I hope its ok!
