.htaccess redirecting from http to https

Question

This may have been asked before but I can't find an answer.

I have recently purchased an SSL certificate and I need help setting up the .htaccess file.

I am using the MVC design pattern so every page goes though index.php

This is my current .htaccess configuration and all pages go through https

RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]

I have read that using https on the whole site adds overheads. Would it be possible to add rules for specific pages such as login/register/forgot password that would redirect to https instead of http?

To redirect specific pages to https:

RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / # specific pages to https RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /(login|register|forgotPassword) [NC] RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301] # all other pages to http RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} !/(login|register|forgotPassword) [NC] RewriteRule ^ http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]

Exactly what I wanted. If i needed to add more pages ,is it just add them to RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /(login|register|forgotPassword) [NC]
Last question. How would i add admin/news or something like that?
Use RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /(login|register|forgotPassword|admin/news) [NC]
