I have a redirect from http://example.com to http://www.example.com.
now i want this redirect to work when the user is in https protocol. meaning to redirect from https://example.com to https://www.example.com.
is it possible?
if not, how do i redirect https://example.com/page to http://example.com or http://www.example.com
i hope i was clear
Redirecting from https://example.com
to https://www.example.com
works in the same way as redirecting from http://example.com
to http://www.example.com
, except that you have to put the rewrite rules in your SSL-enabled VirtualHost
in addition to your plain HTTP VirtualHost
section.
Where you may get a problem is that, for this to work, you need the initial connection to https://example.com
to work and be accepted by the browser. For this, you need your certificate to be valid for both www.example.com
and example.com
. This is typically done by using multiple Subject Alternative Names in your server certificate (you should be able to see this by looking at the details of your certificate). Some CAs issue certificates both with and without the www.
prefix.
