Mod rewrite issue in firefox

Question

I created a .htaccess file that does two things: redirects http to https and also www. to non-www. Here is the code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.profstream.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://profstream.com/$1 [L,R=301]

This works fine in Chrome, Safari, and Opera but for some reason when I type profstream.com/sandbox/login.php for example in Firefox it redirects to https://profstream.com/https://www.profstream.com/sandbox/login.php. What am I doing wrong here?

Answer 1

I think you are missing [L] and also [QSA], try this:

  RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
  RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [QSA,L]

L is to leave, otherwise you will use the rules after this.
QSA is to add the query string of the URL.

The second part should be this I think:

  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.profstream.com [NC]
  RewriteRule (.*) https://profstream.com%{REQUEST_URI} [QSA,L]

Don't know about the RewriteBase /, is that needed?

And if you want both to happen, perhaps you should reverse the order

  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.profstream.com [NC]
  RewriteRule (.*) https://profstream.com%{REQUEST_URI} [QSA,L]

  RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
  RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [QSA,L]
