I want to redirect www.example.com or example.com to https://www.example.com

I've tried 

   RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
   RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

But it gives me an error ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

I also tried

  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(example\.com)(:80)? [NC]
  RewriteRule (.*) https://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
  order deny,allow

It works fine for example.com,
but not for www.example.com

    How is your SSL cert managed? Is it installed directly on the application server or are you using an SSL proxy? Your first code snippet should not result in a redirect loop, unless you are behind a proxy. The fact that your first rule results in a redirect loop suggests you are behind an SSL proxy. – MrWhite Oct 22 '18 at 12:00
  • HEY, if you are using the aws server then you can use the route53 for this problem. – Raman Kumar Oct 22 '18 at 12:02
  • we will go for Rewrite Engine for this reason. " the element after the domain name. It, too, should be relevant, appropriate, professional, memorable, easy to spell and readable. And for the same reasons: to attract customers and improve in search ranking." so your problem related to domain name . – Raman Kumar Oct 22 '18 at 12:08

I've talked with my hosting provider and they replied :

RewriteEngine On 
RewriteCond %{ENV:HTTPS} !on 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

You may use the following lines to force both HTTPS and WWW :

RewriteEngine On 
RewriteCond %{ENV:HTTPS} !on [OR] 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.YOURDOMAIN.COM$ [NC] 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.YOURDOMAIN.COM/$1 [L,R=301]

I see 'ENV'. I don't know What it means but it works fine :D

    The `ENV` prefix references an _environment_ variable called `HTTPS` instead of the "normal" _server_ variable `HTTPS` that you referenced in your question. The `ENV:HTTPS` is being set by your host and implies your host is using some kind of front-end proxy to manage the SSL cert. – MrWhite Oct 22 '18 at 21:13
