Sharing my .htaccess.dms -> Rewrite to https (and correct Charset)
Autor: Clato Pictures FilmstudioHi to all X5 users. I like to share a code-snippet from my .htaccess file. When I first wrote it, it took me quite a while. But I think, other would may be intrested in this:
#Rewrite everything to https
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.yourpage.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.yourpage.com/$1 [R=301,L]
This code will rewrite seraches like: yourpage.com and www.yourpage.com and http://www.yourpage.com to the saver version: https://www.yourpage.com
--> I dont know, why X5 has not implmentet the following one, but I would recommend to add it as well:
#Adding the default Charset
AddDefaultCharset utf-8
Those code-snippets are working correctly. I testes them with several tools, and even for the Google SEO-Bot will see it as a correct rewrite to https and a correct Charset-definition
Hope it will help some of you for further improvements
