I currently have our Magento website to redirect http to https. Basically the site should only be accessed through https including the www.
I think it is working however, it currently shows as a 302 redirect and I'd like to make this into a 301. Could someone let me know how to get this working? I've tried a few different things using the .htaccess but no luck. In fact when the 301 redirect is in the .htaccess file non of our existing redirect works and instead goes straight to the homepage this is the main problem I have.
# Redirect all "not correct" domain to www with https
# (is not important if comes with or without https):
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.gloveclub.co.uk$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.gloveclub.co.uk/$1 [L,R=301]
# Redirect all non-ssl to ssl.
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.gloveclub.co.uk/$1 [R,L]
My original .htaccess file contents are below;
