Hi I know this sounds simple but my futile mind can't seem to handle it. I was unable to search the forums to see if this has already been covered as it kept timing out.

Ok. So if someone goes to my site like this "mysite.com" I would like to automatically redirect them to "www.mysite.com" . Is this possible? Of course something like "mysite.com/product/test.asp", I would like to be redirected to the same but with the www in front of it. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Here's what you need:

RewriteCond Host: mysite\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http\://www.mysite.com$1 [I,RP]

I have a slightly different issue: I want to do the www redirect as above and add a "/" to the end of the folder if it does not have one. I am using the following code:

#Fix non www to www
RewriteCond Host: mysite\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http\://www.mysite.com$1 [I,RP]

#Fix missing slash char on folders
RewriteCond Host: (.*)
RewriteRule ([^.?]+[^.?/]) http\://$1$2/ [I,RP]

This works great if only one of the two above conditions is met but since the RP causes the url rewriting to stop and sends the redirect immediately, if both conditions are met it sends the redirect which then comes back through a second time to catch the second condition for rewrite. (This may not be a problem but I am thinking the search engines would prefer to not be sent compounding redirects)

Is there a better way to accomplish the above two things in just one rule?

Try it like this:

#Fix non www to www
RewriteCond Host: mysite\.com
RewriteRule ([^.?]+[^.?/]) http\://www.mysite.com$1/ [I,RP]

RewriteCond Host: mysite\.com
RewriteRule ([^.?]+) http\://www.mysite.com$1 [I,RP]

I have this code in my httpd.ini

# Rewrite all .http://<whatever>.<domain> to .www.<whatever>.<domain>
RewriteCond %HTTPS off
RewriteCond Host: (?!www\.)(.+)
RewriteRule (.+) http\://www.$1$2 [I,RP]

# Rewrite all .https://<whatever>.<domain> to .www.<whatever>.<domain>
RewriteCond %HTTPS on
RewriteCond Host: (?!www\.)(.+)
RewriteRule (.+) https\://www.$1$2 [I,RP]

it works for most of the websites on my server but for some rason it doesnt work for one - see http://chumbadeals.com/

Try to change the first part like this:

RewriteCond %HTTPS off
RewriteCond Host: (?!www\.)(.+)
RewriteRule (.*) http\://www.$1$2 [I,RP]
