I’m using the following instruction which works just fine for http requests:

```auto
reqirep ^([^\ :]*)\ /.*([a-z][a-z]-[a-z][a-z]).pdf \1\ /\2/404 if needsredirect !ischina

```

But for https requests this generates a `HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request` and I can’t figure out how to get this to work. Any help much appreciated.
