- ''Note:  This will need to be added to an appropriate <Directory> block (wherever /secure/ maps to) if this is in httpd.conf. Otherwise, note the .htaccess caveats above.''
+ ''Either put the above solution in a .htaccess file in the directory to be affected, or put the URI prefix in the regex itself.''

  RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
  # This basically checks to make sure the connection is not already HTTPS
  
- RewriteRule ^(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/secure/$1 [R,L]
+ RewriteRule ^secure/(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/secure/$1 [R,L]
  # This rule will redirect all users who are using any part of /secure/ to the same location but using HTTPS.
  # i.e.  http://www.example.com/secure/ to https://www.example.com/secure/
  # This means if you dont want to force HTTPS for all directories you can force it for a specific sub-section of the site.
