htaccess redirect to https://www

Question

I have the following htaccess code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond !{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{RE         


        

Answer 1

If you are on CloudFlare, make sure you use something like this.

# BEGIN SSL Redirect

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} =http
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

# END SSL Redirect

This will save you from the redirect loop and will redirect your site to SSL safely.

P.S. It is a good idea to if check the mod_rewrite.c!
