Hi there,

recently I was stunned by Google showing some URLs of my domain like
this: https://mydomain.com. Put aside the question, where it dig it,
I got a following problem: the SSL-Certificate is only issued for the
www.domain.com. So the browsers start warning when trying to open an
URL without "www".

The first idea was to use the Apache mod_rewrite to form the URL like
http://www.domain.com

That's what I tried with no result:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^443$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R]

I checked that the port is 443 and the rewrite engine is functioning.

In this case it just did nothing.

Is it possible that the browser gets an idea, that the URL has been
rewritten, and so prohibits the processing to avoid cheating with
certificates?

Any idea?

Thanks.
Leon
