Question

I’m trying to find a htaccess rewrite to remove www. from https: pages only. Every article I’ve found removes www for all pages.

What do I need in .htaccess to do this?

https://www.mydomain.com should be https://mydomain.com

https://mydomain.com should remain https://mydomain.com

http://www.mydomain.com should remain http://www.mydomain.com

http://mydomain.com should remain http://mydomain.com

I’ve been able to get the following working:

RewriteCond %{HTTPS}s ^on(s)|
RewriteCond http%1://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} ^(https?://)www\.(.+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1%2 [L,R,QSA]

But this rewrites both https and http

Here is my current .htaccess

SetEnv DEFAULT_PHP_VERSION 5

RewriteEngine On

# Check that you're on port 443 and the hostname starts with www
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^443
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.

# Redirect to domain without the www
RewriteRule (.*) https://example.com$1 [L,R,QSA]
