.htaccess redirect www to non-www with SSL/HTTPS

I've got several domains operating under a single .htaccess file, each having an SSL certificate.

I need to force a https prefix on every domain while also ensuring www versions redirect to no-www ones.

Below is my code; it doesn't work:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.%{HTTP_HOST}
RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}/$1 [R=301,L]

What I want to achieve is to: redirect something like https://www.example.com to https://example.com.

What am I doing wrong and how can I achieve it?

.htaccess http-redirect

Your condition will never be true, because its like "if (a == a + b)".

I'd try the following:

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

This will capture "google.com" from "www.google.com" into %1, the rest in $1 and after that combining the 2, when HTTP_HOST starts with www (with or without https).
