title: .htaccess - "Too many redirects" when trying to force https
body: <p>I am trying to force a subfolder (/bbb/) of my root domain to show always as https. Also my <code>.htaccess</code> file take care of the extensions of the pages.</p>
  
  <p>I have put the <code>.htaccess</code> file inside my <code>/bbb/</code> folder but I get "Too many redirects" when I try to force to connect to https, without it everything works fine.</p>
  
  <p>Whats wrong in my code?</p>
