I'm trying to rewrite URLs for a secure area of my website.
In essence if a user tries to access the following URL

	http://www.mymachine.dom/secure/index.html

then it will be rewritten as this.

	https://www.mymachine.dom/secure/index.html

Here's what I have in apache.conf.

<IfDefine SSL>
<Directory /usr/local/share/apache/htdocs/secure>
RewriteEngine	On
RewriteCond	%{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule	^(.*)	https://%{HTTP_HOST}/secure/$1	[R]
</Directory>
</IfDefine>

This appears to work.  However I'd like to get a second opinion
on whether this is a good idea.  Is there a better way?

Thanks.
