How to redirect https://www to https:// and http://www to https:// and http:// to https://

Question

I need to redirect all the following addresses :

• http://www.example.com
• https://www.example.com
• http://example.com

to https://example.com using a permanent redirect in an .htaccess file.

Answer 1

I'd try the following:

RewriteEngine On

# URL with www rewrite to https without www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)(.*) [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) https://%2%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

# URL without www rewrite to https
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.)(.*) [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
