Htaccess redirect http to https causes redirect loop

.htaccesshttpsredirect

I have edited my .htaccess file to redirect any http request to https://mydomain.se however, this has cause the website to fall in redirect loop. I have looked at the other solutions and compared them however I detected nothing wrong.

RewriteEngine On 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)(.+) [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?(.+)
RewriteRule ^ https://%2%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

If it does help, domain is bitech.se

Your RewriteCond seems to always match, as the HTTPS version redirects back to the HTTPS over and over.

Try this instead:

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on

Turn out my first answer to this question was correct at certain time, but it turned into another pitfall - to stay up to date please check Taxing rewrite pitfalls

I have been corrected by many SE users, so the credit goes to them, but more importantly, here is the correct code:

server {
       listen         80;
       server_name    my.domain.com;
       return         301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}

server {
       listen         443 ssl;
       server_name    my.domain.com;
       # add Strict-Transport-Security to prevent man in the middle attacks
       add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000" always; 

       [....]
}

Apache: How to redirect OPTIONS request with .htaccess

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} ^::1$
RewriteRule  ^OPTIONS  http://www.google.com/  [L]

that's my best guess, i'm certain of the RewriteCond, but not quite with the RewriteRule

it will match on the REMOTE_HOST being ::1 and then rewrite a request for any URL starting with OPTIONS to www.google.com
