Change path

I figured it out. I was looking at it wrong. I am re-writing http requests to https after it hits the rule to eliminate /SSL. So for the http request, I've removed /SSL and then pass the new URL to the second rule, which rewrites it https w/o /SSL, since that already got stripped, and my browser shows the new URL w/o /SSL. But when the request is https, only the first rule gets applied and passes on the request to the web server w/o /SSL but does not change the URL in the browser. So it works for both requests, but the URL in the browser is unchanged. That's what was throwing me. I really appreciate all the help.
