Redirecting Google search to HTTPS with Privoxy

Question

I tried this in the user.action file:

{ +redirect{s@http://www.google.*/search@https://encrypted.google.com/search@} }
.google.

But it doesn't work. My goal is to redirect from this:

http://www.google.*/searchBLA-BLA

to this:

https://encrypted.google.com/searchBLA-BLA

It could be de, pl, etc.; that's why I need the *.

Answer 1

This rule works for me with TLD's .de, .pl:

{+redirect{s@^http://[^/]*/search\?q=([^&]*).*@https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=$1@}}
.google.*/search

You will find great examples how to use redirect in the Privoxy Action Files: redirect section documentation.

If you want to debug your rules enable debug 128 in the main configuration file.
