https:// .htaccess - how should it look like?

Hello Sirs,

I installed backlight with https.

In Google Webmaster tools I have registerd:
http://www.mydomain.com
http://mydomain.com
https://www.mydomain.com
https://mydomain.com <- prefered without www. / connected with Analytics

I am wondering if the following .htaccess is perfect, especially the last part:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Re: https:// .htaccess - how should it look like?

This is what my rewrite rule looks like:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I copied it off the net somewhere but it seems to work fine. If someone accesses my site with http it is converted to https.

Re: https:// .htaccess - how should it look like?

Hello Charlie, thanks for your suggestion, unfortunately doesnt work for me.

My goal is, whatever I enter in the browsers address bar:

-mydomain.com-
-www.mydomain.com-
-http://mydomain.com-
-http://www.mydomain.com-

it should lead the visitor to: -https://mydomain.com-

Any further suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Oliver

Re: https:// .htaccess - how should it look like?

That's exactly what it does for me on my site when I enter those combinations. Mine is at the top of my .htaccess, though.

Re: https:// .htaccess - how should it look like?

Thank you Charlie for sharing your .htacces file.

Using:
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]


results in:
The page isn’t redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

    This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

???

Best regards,
Oliver

Re: https:// .htaccess - how should it look like?

Weird, works fine in Firefox Chrome and Safari for me. Have you tried other browsers to see if the message makes more sense?

Re: https:// .htaccess - how should it look like?

Hi Charlie,

thanks again for your help!
In between I figured out that following code is working:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
   
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%1/$1 [R=301,L]

I don't know how and why but works :-)

Now let's see how it affects google webmastertools ...

Best regards & thx again,
Oliver

Cool, glad you got in working. I'm not sure why mine works either. ;-)

Re: https:// .htaccess - how should it look like?

If you mean in the galleries folder, I didn't. My .htaccess in there is the same as came from TTG except for some rules to do some redirection after I reorganize my directory structure to avoid 404's. I don't have an .htaccess file in the backlight folder itself.
