301/302 header

[12tix]

Hi,
I changed from http to https with SSL certificate and have added the following code in my htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !^on$
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.mysitesurl.com/$1 [R,L]

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

But Moz returns a:
Temporary Redirect
Using HTTP header refreshes, 302, 303, or 307 redirects will cause search engine crawlers to treat the redirect as temporary and not pass any link equity to other pages. We highly recommend that you replace temporary redirects with 301 redirect

And additional header checkers return a 302 also when I check http://www.mysitesurl.com/:
HTTP/1.1 302 Found =>
Date => Tue, 05 May 2015 09:31:18 GMT
Server => Apache/2
_Location => https://www.mysitesurl.com/_
Content-Length => 214
Connection => close
Content-Type => text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

Anybody an idea why there is no 301 result?

Thanks

Going to need the actual URL I think. If you can't post here, PM it - but I don't see the issue.

Ok thanks for the PM. I see the issue now - didn't need the URL after all, just a few more minutes to process.

The redirect is matching the first rule. You only have R,L so R by itself defaults to 302.  It's picking up that before the other rule so it stops processing.

Set the top rule to R=301 and make sure you see a true 301 after that. If not, I'm wrong. haha  But I think that's it.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for that, have changed the code as you advised to:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !^on$
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.mysitesurl.com/$1 [R**=301**,L]

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

and it seems to work!
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently =>
Date => Tue, 05 May 2015 12:07:49 GMT
Server => Apache/2
Location => https://www.mysitesurl.com/
Content-Length => 238
Connection => close
Content-Type => text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

Thanks a bunch!!!
