如何让SSL + mod_rewrite + Zend Framework MVC协同工作？

Question

So, I got ZF MVC site and want to force SSL connection on everything under my /checkout/ I tried using mod_rewrite for that, so my .htaccess would look like this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (\/checkout.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R] 
RewriteRule !\.(js|ico|gif|jpg|png|css|swf|xml|avi|flv|mov|mp3|wav)$ index.php [L]

Sure enough, it does kick in SSL, but second rule, that's ZF specific and redirects everything to index.php sorta erases the protocol specification.

Unfortunately my level of proficiency with mod_rewrite is stupendously terrible. Maybe someone could help me out to solve this?

Tim Lytle's answer is mostly there.

I'd change it be a little more strict in checking HTTPS and the flags need a delimiter.

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !^on$
RewriteRule ^/checkout/? https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L] 

RewriteRule !\.(js|ico|gif|jpg|png|css|swf|xml|avi|flv|mov|mp3|wav)$ index.php [L]
