apache force if url has specific pattern redirect to https

Question

How can I force Apache if URI start with "admin-" pattern or contain "admin/user/login" redirect to https of the same uri.

For example:

If the URI is :

http://examplesite.com/admin-2dns24dw

Redirect to :

https://examplesite.com/admin-2dns24dw

And if the URI is :

http://examplesite.com/en/admin/user/login/msg

redirect to :

https://examplesite.com/en/admin/user/login/msg

And if any https URI that hasn't any of this patterns should be redirect to http of same URL.

For example:

If the URI is :

https://examplesite.com/fa/dashboard

Redirect to :

http://examplesite.com/fa/dashboard

** UPDATE **

I tried:

 RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
 RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} admin-|admin/users/login [NC]
 RewriteRule ^(my) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [NC,R=301,L]

but it didn't worked.

whats the problem?

Don't use "THE_REQUEST", it's not unescaped. Why does your rewrite rule start with "my"?? — Chris S, Jul 30 '13 at 17:21

This is very simple using mod_rewrite:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(foo|bar)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R]

This will rewrite any URL that matches the pattern in the RewriteRule to the same URL over HTTPS.

You can try mod_alias - Apache HTTP Server Redirect Directive.

Example:

Redirect /service http://foo2.example.com/service

* UPDATE *

Redirect /admin-2dns24dw https://examplesite.com/fa/dashboard

I questioned about any URL that start with "admin-", but your example is static. – Arash Mousavi Jul 30 '13 at 17:04
and also I want redirect any url with https without these two pattern redirect to http. – Arash Mousavi Jul 30 '13 at 17:05

Using mod_alias like this can result in a redirect loop. You really should mention that, and how to avoid it. – Chris S Jul 30 '13 at 17:20
@ArashMousavi 1) make sure that mod_rewrite isn't commented out 2) look in your logs to see where the problem is, also if you need to use regex pattern then you should use mod_rewrite, if it's simple redirect then mod_alias is better. – alexus Jul 30 '13 at 18:41
