如何在没有htaccess文件的情况下使https://www.example.com重定向到https://example.com

Question

I'm using google cloud platform to host my site and namecheap for the domain name. I want any traffic that hits https://www.example.com to redirect to https://example.com .

I currently have http://www.example.com and http://example.com redirecting to https://example.com from using DNS URL redirects and having secure: always as a handler in my app.yaml file (for ruby on rails).

I dont know how to have https://www.example.com redirect to https://example.com . I've tried adding a .htaccess file but couldn't get it to work so maybe there is a configuration I can have in the app.yaml file or some other way for this to work.

It sounds like you're using App Engine in particular.

I don't think that app.yaml supports matching on the hostname; you can either implement the redirect in your application or add a second service to your app which only serves the redirects and use dispatch.yaml to route requests to non-canonical domain to the redirect service.

Sample dispatch.yaml if you decide to use two services:

dispatch:
  # Official site is at example.com
  - url: "example.com/*"
    module: default

  # Default module serves simple redirect.
  - url: "*/*"
    module: redirect
