How to force HTTPS protocol via htaccess

Procédure

Definition

Following the activation of an SSL certificate on a domain name, it may be necessary to force the use of the https protocol, so that an Internet user is automatically redirected to a secure URL.

This action does not apply to websites developed with Wordpress, Joomla and/or Prestashop, in which case this type of redirection will be carried out directly from their admin panel.

How do I force the use of the https protocol via an .htaccess file?

To do this, you need to upload a file called .htaccess to the FTP account associated with your domain, at its root.
This file must contain the following code:

RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www)?mondomaine\.ext(?:.*)$ [nc] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [redirect=301,L]

• the term mydomain should be replaced by your domain name
• the term .ext should be replaced by your domain extension
