title: htaccess - The page isn't redirecting properly
body: <p>I have taken over a website and am trying to force https. I have added the following to my .htaccess file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
  RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The rest of the file looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^(.*)/audio_recording/(.*)$
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^(.*)/bwcheck/(.*)$
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^(.+)/page\.php$
  ... lots of Conditions
  RewriteRule ^(.*)\.* page.php?$1 [L]
  IndexIgnore *
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I add the https redirect I am getting the following error:</p>
  
  <p>The page isn't redirecting properly
  Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.</p>
  
  <p>and chrome:</p>
  
  <p>This webpage has a redirect loop...</p>
  
  <p>The url is updated to https however.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT:</p>
  
  <p>Here is the begining of the .htaccess file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>php_value memory_limit 64M
  
  &lt;Files .htaccess&gt;
  order allow,deny
  deny from all
  &lt;/Files&gt;
  
  DirectoryIndex index
  Options +FollowSymlinks
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteBase /
  
  ErrorDocument 404 /web/content/content/404.php
  </code></pre>
