force https to a certain url - mod-rewrite

I know this issue has been addressed in many ways, but couldn't find any similar to this one I have now. The thing is that I have a code to force https to a certain or a particular url, but it seems that the (s) letter can be removed by hand so the url goes with http instead!! I mean I want the https to be force again in case the url is changed from https to http.
I hope it is a clear explanation.
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 443
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} main
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.domain.com/folder1/folder2/login$1 [R,L]
does this code redirect again in case https is changed??
Thanks
Update #1
I got the meaning of what I want to point out to. It is called "blocked crawling of https"

Do this:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} main
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.domain.com/folder1/folder2/login$1 [R,L]

Issues with RewriteRule on Generic Anchor Redirect

I want to redirect any request to the root of my site to an anchor on the index. So
https://example.com/foo
Gets sent to
https://example.com/#foo
I've written this .htaccess file (it also redirects http requests to https, that part works, but is included for completeness)
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/(.*) /#$1 [NE,R=302]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
Based on the discussion in this thread: mod_rewrite with anchor link this should work, but it's not matching for some reason. I tried out the rule given in that thread using this tool: http://htaccess.madewithlove.be/ and it doesn't seem to work there either.
I've tried clearing my cache and accessing in incognito mode, to no avail. Any help?

Proper Way to Redirect to HTTPS

According to the tool below, I'm not redirecting our site to HTTPS properly.

Does anyone know the proper way to 301 redirect all versions of a homepage to https://www.example.com? These are the other versions of a homepage I'm referring to:
http://example.com
http://www.example.com
https://example.com?
I found this question asked a few years ago, but there was a lot of back and forth about what the best way to do this was, and there didn't seem to be a definite answer among the group.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance!
To redirect your http non-secure traffic over the https secure page, you need to add below code into your .htaccess file. Once you update your .htaccess file then http, www and non-www all requests use the 301 permanent redirection tool and redirect on https secure protocol.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [R,L]
You should use below code for 301 redirection, it will definitely work for you.
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.domainname.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

Htacces rewrite for magento http to https for one domain of multishop

We are looking for a solution for our htacces rewrite and have been looking all over the internet and could not find the solution. We have a multishop with 10 shops and are now going over at https and first want to test one shop and then do the others. We have set everything up correctly, but do not get the 301 redirect to work.
We have tried the following code:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.be$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.domain.be/$1 [R=301,L]
But with this code all pages of the other webshops will also be redirected to this domain. Can someone help us setting it up so we can start transfer to https?
You need to remove the OR.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.be$
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.domain.be/$1 [R=301,L]
If you have split each of your domains to have independent vhosts (likely) and therefore utilize a separate block for SSL and HTTP, you should think about using a Redirect 301 in the HTTP section of the vhost to reduce complexity.

code igniter & mod_rewrite - one rewrite rule breaking another

I have a site built in codeigniter. We use short urls from our database & rewrite rules to redirect them to their full path.
For example,
RewriteRule ^secure-form$ form/contract/secure-form [L]
This works fine by itself. But I would like to use SSL on certain pages. I have edited the code so that if you go to one of these pages, all instances of http:// within the page are replaced with https:// but I need to rewrite the url to use it as well.
The pages all use the same template and all the content comes from the database so I can't just specify ssl on a particular directory.
The url's for the secure pages all start with 'secure' so I wrote the following rules and placed them above the other rewrites.
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/secure/?.*$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/secure/?.*$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^secure-form$ form/contract/secure-form [L]
RewriteRule ^secure-different-form$ form/contract/secure-different-form [L]
all other rewrite rules for specific pages follow
then the default rewrite further down...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
The problem is that when I add the rules to change the protocol, it ends up displaying 'form/contract/secure-form' in the url instead of 'secure-form'.
This renders the actual form on the page broken since it uses that url to build itself.
If I take out the rules that change the protocol, it displays secure-form in the url as it should, but the page is not secure.
What am I doing wrong?
----UPDATE----
Ooh, after over 20 hrs of searching, I think I finally have an answer. So, first time through, https is off & gets turned on. Then, because of the 301, it's run again & the page gets sent to form/contract/secure... But this time, https is on. Since the uri no longer STARTS with secure, it turns https off.
Hopefully, this will help someone else.

How do I redirect to a page after a file download has been initiated with mod_rewrite?

Just as the title states. Say an individual accesses a file from my database, http://domain.com/database/file.zip. Once that file download has been initiated, I wish the browser to be redirected to the database directory again. Here's what I have so far:
RewriteEngine On
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteRule ^Database(.zip)$ http://domain.com/db/index.html [R=301,L]
But, I get a 500 error.
And if I am being too picky, it would be nice to ignore this function on links such as: &file=something.zip.
Either way, getting the first portion to work would be fantastic.
Edit!
Here is what worked for me in the end. Cheers!
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} .*zip$|.*rar$|.*tar$|.*txt$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !domain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /dl.php?url=%{REQUEST_FILENAME} [L]
Not really possible with mod_rewrite the way you have described: once the server has started delivering content (sent a 200 status code) there is no way to initiate a second response without a corresponding second request.
If you want to do this you'll have to do it on the client side: for example launch the download targetting a separate, hidden iframe and if the download starts then you can change the page location using window.location.
