which is the correct way to force https in .htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
or
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(.)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
they both seem to do the same thing and work
Because !=on (not on) is literarily just off
ok so this is the correct code to force http to https and force www. to non www? it seems to work
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.(.)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
If it seems to work, it works. There’s no need to ask everything on the forum; trying it out is most of the times more efficient.
Both codes are identical in 99% of the situations.
However, on some platforms, if the website does not use HTTPS, then the HTTPS property is not set to off, but is missing entirely. In those situations, the code at the top wouldn’t work correctly.
But on our hosting, both code should work exactly the same.
