Thank you.

Try this in your .htaccess file:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on

# redirect for http
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain\.com$ [NC]  
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} =80
RewriteRule ^/?(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,QSA,L,NE]

# redirect for https
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain\.com$ [NC]  
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} =443
RewriteRule ^/?(.*)$ https://www.mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,QSA,L,NE]

R=301 will redirect with https status 301
L will make last rule
NE is for no escaping query string
QSA will append your existing query parameters

$1 is your REQUEST_URI

Your ^(.*)$ will capture the leading slash; you don't want to add a second in the location that you're redirecting to. – Shane Madden Apr 10 '11 at 22:29
@Shane Madden: Thanks I fixed it. – anubhava Apr 10 '11 at 23:20
I don't need the FollowSymLinks do I? – Francisc Apr 11 '11 at 11:31
It's not 100% good yet. :) If I enter: mydomain.com/folder/ it will go to www.mydomain.com instead of www.mydomain.com/folder/. – Francisc Apr 11 '11 at 11:36

@Francisc: Please see my edited answer, that takes care of http and https both. – anubhava Apr 11 '11 at 12:19
