Hello Bob,

Thanks for your response and clarification. 
Indeed with the "grep -r -i SSLRequireSSL /etc/apache2/" I have found

```````````````
<FilesMatch "\.(cgi|shtml|phtml|php)$">
      SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
   </FilesMatch>
   <Directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin>
      SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
   </Directory>
```````````````

at /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl file

and my wrapper script is

``````````````
ScriptAlias /php5-cgi  /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php52/php52.fcgi
Action application/x-httpd-php5  /php5-cgi
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php .php5 .php4 .php3 .phtml
AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi
````````````

Does the above section of /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl
make the redirect ?

Thanks
