How to force www and https

I am trying to force a site to use SSL via HTTPS and have the www.domain.com.

I have successfully forced an HTTPS connection with the following in my .htaccess file:

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]

How can I modify this to check and force for a www as well?

Thanks

Try this:

# Auto add "www" in front of domain name
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]

Close, but if I go to https://domain.com, it doesn't forward to https://www.domain.com

Thanks

Just for clarification - the following was placed in my .htaccess file for the particular domain I was working with:

RewriteEngine On
# Forces HTTPS requests (SSL)
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
# Forces the site to use www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.mydomain.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]
