http to https, www to non www and respect urls

Question

I want to redirect http to https and www to non www.

Cases:

http://example.com/my/url
http://www.example.com/my/url
https://example.com/my/url
https://www.example.com/my/url

Result

https://example.com/my/url
https://example.com/my/url
https://example.com/my/url
https://example.com/my/url

My current htaccess file:

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

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,L,R=301]

Problem:

It redirects to https://example.com/index.php.

I want it to respect the url https://example.com/my/url.

I've found many questions but I have not yet found a complete solution. In fact, the htaccess code above was the only one that worked quite well out of like 10 tries.

You can use this single rule for removing www and http -> https:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]

# rest of rules go here ....

If you have an issue with too many redirects, try to replace the second line with:
RewriteCond %{ENV:HTTPS} !on

It is important to keep this rule as your very first rule and clear your browser cache before testing.

Nice to have it all in one rule. I think the solution was to put it before any other rules. Thanks! – Jens Törnell Oct 11 '16 at 09:06
