Permanent redirect from http to https in .htaccess

[nirmal]

Hello Techies,

The following redirect rules can be used in the .htaccess for permanently redirecting http to https (secure connection) in Apache with SSL.

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
    RewriteRule .* https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]

or

    RewriteEngine on
    Options +FollowSymLinks
    RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
    RewriteRule ^.*$ https://www.%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R]

Thank you
