redirect incomplete url to https:// - .htaccess

I need to edit my .htaccess so the following happens:
theeatalianjob.com -> https://www.theeatalianjob.com
www.theeatalianjob.com -> https://www.theeatalianjob.com
http://www.theeatalianjob.com -> https://www.theeatalianjob.com
the following:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
only adds the https:// in front of the HTTP_HOST how do I write a if statement that adds www. if missing?
Thank you for your help.

Your answer will do 2 things:
Add www if missing
Redirect http to https
So if URL is http://domain.com then there will be two redirects and that is bad for SEO and for user experience also.
You can use a single rule to do both redirects like this:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]

I think I have found the solution to my own question but feel free to suggest more elegant ones...
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^[^.]+\.[^.]+$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

.htaccess rewrites results in www.www

What I want to achieve should be quite simple:
Redirect all traffic to HTTPS and the www. subdomain. And to achieve this I used the following rule:
# Canonical https/www
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ([^.]+)\.domain.com [NC]
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://www.%1/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
However, if I follow a link like this:
http://www.example.com
I end up here:
https://www.www.example.com
So then I found this question: .htaccess: http://www redirects to www.www
And I completely replaced the rule I used above with the rule suggested in the accepted answer:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(.+)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
However now I get the ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS error, and the site completely refuses to load.
Can someone help me out here?
Check this rewrite in your .htaccess file, maybe it help
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.example.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Redirect to https://www.example.com

Currently I'm using http://example.com but I want redirect all to https://www.example.com
I read several topics here and tried quite a few solutions to this but nothing worked for me.
My last try was this:
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule .* https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
When I'm using this code I can see this:
enter image description here
But it gives me this message also:
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.
Can you help me with this?
Replace example with your domain and try
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [R,L]
Looks to me that you're also trying to force www. You can do both by using this in your .htaccess:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
Place this rule to the top of your .htaccess file and make sure you clear your cache before you test it.

Removing www. from a sub domain via .htaccess?

I currently have the following which:
Removes www. from urls and redirects to https://somedomain.com
Makes redirects http:// requests to https://
This works great, here is the code...
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,QSA,NC,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
The problem I am now faced with is.. how can I remove www. from the sub domain
e.g. https://www.subdomain.maindomain.com and redirect it to
https://subdomain.maindomain.com
Hope someone can asisst
Try :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(.+)
RewriteRule ^ https://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,L,R]
To remove WWW from a subdomain just use the following:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,QSA,NC,L]

Force non-www and https via htaccess

I'm trying to force a user to be redirected to the non-www website, and, force https.
I've got this which sort of work, but doesn't force https, when http is entered.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://site.com\.net/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
Try this rule:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)(.+) [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?(.+)
RewriteRule ^ https://%2%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
Based on Gumbo's comment : "the TLS/SSL connection is established and certificate is validated before it is handed down to HTTP and the HTTP redirection takes place"
I gave this a try (which seems to work):
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.blahblah.com/$1 [R,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.blahblah\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://blahblah.com/$1 [L,R=301]
please tell me if there is something wrong with this approach.
The only set of rules that works for me is the following
# match any URL with www and rewrite it to https without the www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)(.*) [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) https://%2%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
# match non https and redirect to https
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
The order matters, it prevents a third redirect in some cases.
With this code I rediret from http and www and none www to https none www. Just pay attenstion that the place you insert the code in htaccess is important:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%1/$1 [R=301,L]

.htaccess - how to force "www." in a generic way?

This will change domain.example to www.domain.example:
# Force the "www."
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.example$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ `http://www.domain.example/$1` [R=301,L]
How do I replace the "domain" part so that this works on any domain?
I would use this rule:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !=""
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS}s ^on(s)|
RewriteRule ^ http%1://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
The first condition checks whether the Host value is not empty (in case of HTTP/1.0); the second checks whether the the Host value does not begin with www.; the third checks for HTTPS (%{HTTPS} is either on or off, so %{HTTPS}s is either ons or offs and in case of ons the s is matched). The substitution part of RewriteRule then just merges the information parts to a full URL.
This will do it:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
If you want to redirect all non-www requests to your site to the www version, all you need to do is add the following code to your .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
This won't work with subdomains.
domain.example correctly gets redirected to www.domain.example
but
images.domain.example gets redirected to www.images.domain.example
Instead of checking if the subdomain is "not www", check if there are two dots:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(.*)\.(.*)\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS}s ^on(s)|
RewriteRule ^ HTTP%1://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
The following should prefix 'www' to any request that doesn't have one, and redirect the edited request to the new URI.
RewriteCond "%{HTTP_HOST}" "!^www\." [NC]
RewriteCond "%{HTTP_HOST}" "(.*)"
RewriteRule "(.*)" "http://www.%1$1" [R=301,L]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^[^.]+\.[^.]+$
RewriteRule ^ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,L,R=301]
This redirects example.com to www.example.com excluding subdomains.
This is an older question, and there are many different ways to do this. The most complete answer, IMHO, is found here: https://gist.github.com/vielhuber/f2c6bdd1ed9024023fe4 . (Pasting and formatting the code here didn't work for me)
this worked like magic for me
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sitename.example [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.sitename.example/$1 [L,R=301,NC]
