[FX.php List] [OFF] Rewrite for forcing http to https possible?

[biscuit technologies]

Hi troy,according to this:
http://michaelkrol.com/2007/10/30/local-web-development-with-os-x-105-leopard/

mod_rewrite is on by default in leopard's apache 2.2

apache 2 is quite a bit different from previous versions in some ways and
I'm not that familiar with it, but I think this thread on the apple
discussions site is pretty thorough:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1453778&tstart=8

maybe that will help,
David
