Spoke too soon. There is still a multiple password prompt when the

rewrite is invoked. Is there a way I can change the order of the directory
definition in httpd.conf to avoid this?


The HTTP re-write is being password protected, that is:

1) User requests http://site.com/whatever/ -> Authentication request #1
2) Rewrite to https://site.com/whatever/
3) Authentication #2 on the "new site"... the browser treats
https://site.com & http://site.com as 2 different sites.

So simply setup the not https directory not to be password protected.
Of course do not serve the files there, just the redirect/rewrite.
