rewrite, https, and language selection

[keneso]

Hi,

 

I tried to add rewrite rule to my htaccess for site.com, and http://www.site.com

 

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

 

But by doing that the language selection does not work, reloading the default (English) language, and the https is not reachable anymore.

 

What would be the correct rewrite to use, as you can guess I am not a coder.

 

On a side note I noticed that whenever changing page I have to reselect the language for that page, is there a way that once user selects a language this wouldn't change while surfing thru the site?

 

Thank you

try using...

 

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS}s ^on(s)|
RewriteRule ^ http%1://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

 

the language shouldn't change when browsing the site... unless you were possibly specifying a language in the URL...

Thank you.

 

The code you provided works fine, but it won't let language change.

 

As for the side note it was a cahce issue, as I cleared the cache it behaves correctly.

The code you provided works fine, but it won't let language change.

it runs fine on our dev site and allows language to be changed without a problem... perhaps your server config is slightly different than ours.

Thanks.

I'll ask the server guys.
