Can you explain each line of the .htaccess file provided in the forum thread?
Issue: The provided .htaccess file contains rules to redirect all HTTP requests to HTTPS. Each line in the file serves a specific purpose in achieving this redirection. Explanation of each line in the .htaccess file: 1. RewriteEngine On - This line enables the Apache module mod_rewrite for URL rewriting. 2. RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off - This line checks if the request is not already using HTTPS. 3. RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301] - This line redirects the request to HTTPS by capturing the requested URL and appending it to the new HTTPS URL. Complete PHP code snippet implementing the fix: ```apache RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301] ```
