Okay, maybe I have a cold coming on...but I've got a couple of URLs I need to redirect to https and the examples I've seen don't appear to be working:

location /asecuredir { rewrite ^(.*) https://www.example.com$1 redirect; }

I've tried /asecuredir and /asecuredir/

It appears to redirect to https if I enter http://www.example.com/asecuredir but doesn't redirect if I use http://www.example.com/asecuredir/somepage.shtml

Thanks.
