URLRewriteFilter HTTPS HTTP rule returning net :: ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

Question

My Tomcat works with URLRewriteFilter for EC2 ELB with SSL certificates, ELB redirects traffic from ports 80 and 443 to port 8080 in backend instances. URLRewriteFilter has this rule:

<rule> <condition type="scheme" operator="notequal">https</condition> <condition name="host" operator="equal">ELB-DNS</condition> <from>^/(.*)</from> <to type="permanent-redirect">https://ELB-DNS/$1</to> </rule> 

but when I try to hit him, I got the following:

 Error 310 (net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS): There were too many redirects. 

Answer 1

Try setting the port condition:

 <rule> <condition type="scheme" operator="notequal">https</condition> <condition name="host" operator="equal">ELB-DNS</condition> <condition name="port" operator="equal">(80|443)</condition> <from>^/(.*)</from> <to type="permanent-redirect">https://ELB-DNS:8080/$1</to> </rule>
