Redirect www to non-www only for https://

Question

I can't seem to find a nice way to redirect https://www.x.co.uk to https://x.co.uk whilst letting http://x.co.uk and http://www.x.co.uk keep whatever they want.

Could anyone lend a hand?

I have tried various things, the closest I think I have got is a straight up check like this;

    RewriteCond ^https://www\.x\.co\.uk/$ [NC]
    RewriteRule https://x.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]

But it doesn't seem to match (or if it is it is ignoring the rewrite rule.

Answer 1

Try something like this:

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} ^on$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.x\.co\.uk$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://x\.co\.uk$1 [L,R=301]

This is redirect someone from https://www.x.co.uk to https://x.co.uk and not do anything if they are no on https.
