Remove www and force https [duplicate]

Question

This question already has an answer here:

• What are the most commonly used and basic Apache htaccess redirects? 1 answer

This has been asked multiple times, but none of the answers have worked for me.

I have just installed an SSL certificate and need to force https connections for all visitors.

This site has a lot of incoming links, so all existing http links should properly redirect to https.

There should be no www. There is also a rule that removes .html from files for "friendly" URLs, so that has to continue to work.

This is the old htaccess:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.html [NC,L]

What is the new set of rules I need to use?

I´d suggest:

# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
# | Forcing `https://`                                                 |
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------

# Redirect from the `http://` to the `https://` version of the URL.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
# | Suppressing the `www.` at the beginning of URLs                    |
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
    RewriteRule ^ %{ENV:PROTO}://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
