I am trying to archieve the following with least amount of redirects;
What i have so far and is working:
RewriteEngine On
# REMOVE WWW
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
# FORCE HTTPS
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
# REMOVE TRAILING SLASH
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]
# REMOVE PHP EXTENSION
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.php$ /$1 [NC,L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.+)/?$ /$1.php [END]
Current behaviour:
http://www.example.com/functions.php -> https://example.com/functions
(works with 4 redirects)
OR
http://www.example.com/functions/ -> https://example.com/functions
(works with 4 redirects)
Does anyone have any suggestions how to make this work with fewest possible redirects?
It doesn't hurt to just always rewrite to https and lose the www in one step. Trailing slash is unchanged, but lost a line on removing php-extenstion by inverting the Cond.
# REMOVE WWW & FORCE HTTPS
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{https} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# REMOVE TRAILING SLASH
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]
# REMOVE PHP EXTENSION if there's no file with this name
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.php$ /$1 [NC,L,R=301]
If you also need handling for files that were requested as file/ without .php, you should stay with your code for the final part:
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.php$ /$1 [NC,L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.+)/?$ /$1.php [END]
