Subject: [users@httpd] Can't get redirect or redirectmatch working in Windows
 Apache 2.2
 but ok on Linux

I am stuck on what is a very simple configuration that we have been using o=
n Linux but it doesn't appear to trigger on windows.  Below is what we have=
 in our conf file:

<VirtualHost _default_:80>
   ServerName xxxx.yyyy.ca
   Redirect / https://xxxx.yyyy.ca
   RedirectMatch (.*) https://xxxx.yyyy.ca$1
</VirtualHost>

Note: I have tried various forms but my concern right now is not getting th=
e url correct but just getting something in the browser:
RedirectMatch ^/(.*) https://xxxx.yyyy.ca$1
RedirectMatch ^/(.*)$ https://xxxx.yyyy.ca$1
RedirectMatch ^/(.*)$ https://xxxx.yyyy.ca
RedirectMatch ^/(.*)$ adsjfaksjfa


I know it is hitting this section as the first Redirect works fine (and is =
the only one in the entire configuration) but the RedirectMatch never appea=
rs to trigger.  I don't want to use alias or rewrites as I want the user to=
 see the change in their browser.   The purpose is to transition this serve=
r from 80 to 443 but we need to stage customers and not have them all of a =
sudden find they can't access.

What is unusual is even if I do Redirect /testme https://xxxx.yyyy.ca this =
also doesn't trigger which is very strange.  It almost appears that Apache =
recognizes there is path information but not processing it correctly.

This is the exact same syntax we use with httpd on Linux and it works fine.=
 We don't have any htaccess files anywhere so the only thing I can think of=
 is that there either is a bug in Windows or some very simple stupid flag o=
r parameter I missed that windows needs.

If anyone out there can point me in the right direction it would be greatly=
 appreciated.
