Stefan,

The only reason I had the rewrite in there (and I think it was 
recommended to me years ago) was to prevent people or bots from calling 
the non-ssl directories of the site with https and creating duplicates 
in Google, etc. e.g. calling http://www.example.com/ and 
https://www.example.com/ when my homepage doesn't need https.

I only needs https calls on my phpMyAdmin, webmail, facebookapp and site 
admin subdirectories. I just wrote another email in the thread asking if 
I should only do a rewrite if it's NOT those directories.
