Redirect all http AND https non-www URLS to https://www.xyz.com via htaccess
Solution 1
In case anyone from the future (HELLO PEOPLE OF THE FUTURE) stumble across this, I asked the same question and had it answered over at Server Fault.
Short version: impossible.
Long version: https://serverfault.com/questions/523199/redirect-all-http-and-https-non-www-urls-to-https-www-example-com-via-htaccess
Solution 2
This is very much possible. use the following code. this works for me.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}$1
Solution 3
Even though this issue is very old.
If found it googeling the exact same issue. After the Code provided here didn't help. I tried and tried.
This one worked for me:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule .* https://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule .* https://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
Fixed the issue for me without any Loops or other errors. Maybe it will help someone else.

For reasons much too long and complex to get into (it involves several layers of corporate red tape resulting in someone else not purchasing a wildcard SSL certificate I requested), I have to set up a domain to redirect all requests to https://www.xyz.com – secure protocol with the
www
subdomain.So: http://xyz.com, http://www.xyz.com, and https://xyz.com should ALL redirect to https://www.xyz.com.
My .htaccess-fu is weak at best and I can't seem to get this to work. Note: hosting is on Media Temple if that makes a difference.
So far, my .htaccess file looks like so:
RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !^on$ RewriteRule (.*) https://www.xyz.com/$1 [R,L] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
Both http://xyz.com and http://www.xyz.com are redirecting to https://www.xyz.com, so yay. However, https://xyz.com is not redirecting to https://www.xyz.com and is thus throwing a security warning page:
This is probably not the site you are looking for!
You attempted to reach xyz.com, but instead you actually reached a server identifying itself as www.xyz.com. This may be caused by a misconfiguration on the server or by something more serious. An attacker on your network could be trying to get you to visit a fake (and potentially harmful) version of xyz.com.
You should not proceed, especially if you have never seen this warning before for this site.Any help in getting me past this one final hump would be muchly appreciated!

Barry almost 8 yearsThis solution has worked after about 20 minutes of trying many items, it's not perfect, but everything else directs non-http to www.example.com whcih I couldn't figure out!

Admin over 7 yearsThis didn't work for me, because I didn't have my certificate enabled for both www.mydomain.com AND mydomain.com per the answer from Scottie.
