.htaccess - Force HTTPS using only HTACCESS in SYMFONY

Question

We have a Symfony 1.4 project and are looking to force HTTPS for all pages in a symfony application using only the htaccess file. I know there are ways to do using filters but I want to know if it's possible to do without that first?

Here is the .HTACCESS file I currently am using but isn't working as expected...

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule .* https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

I've also tried without success:

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]

I am sure there is some quirk I am missing in doing this with Symfony as this is an easy task to do straight away. Any ideas?

Regarding a previous answer, try:

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule .? https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
