how to do redirect and standardise URL at the same time [message #562]

Hi, I am very new to htaccess and in need of a solution to my problem ASAP. I need to create a htaccess file that does two things for me;

1. it needs to redirect from http tp https protocol.
2. it also needs to standardise the URL web address so it always includes 'www' in the URL.

I found some solutions (listed below) that solve each of these situations, but I need one htaccess file that does both and that is where I am having problem. The solutions I've found are as follow:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
// Redirecting from http to https protocol

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
----------------------------------------------------------------------
// standaridise URL so it alwaysinlcude 'www'

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
// ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Again how do I write one htaccess file that covers both situations?

thanks

Well, if your domain is domain.com you could just use:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.domain.com%{REQUEST_URI}
