Question

I have forced a ecommerce site to be always in https, due to some issues with having only specific urls triggered as secure. I have used the following in my .htaccess

RewriteEngine On 
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.vshoen.com/$1 [R,L]

But now my problem is all external links without www in the url open in https as well for some reason. Most of the time its not a problem but there are a few specific links that need to simply be http://url.com instead of http://www.url.com and for in this case they are not loading as its trying to open them as https://url.com

I was hoping there would be a resolution to this, this is a wordpress site if that makes any difference.

Thanks in advance.

Try this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,NC,L]
