Just a note:

Remember, if you put these rules in the main server conf file (usually httpd.conf) rather than an .htaccess file, you’ll need to use ^/… … instead of ^… … at the beginning of the RewriteRule line, in other words, add a slash.

… and the opposite is as well truth.

Took me almost an hour to get my redirection working, until I deleted the slash at the beginning of the rewrite rule to:

RewriteRule ^(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [L,R]

Hope this helps someone.
