Hello guys,  
I am trying to test the redirection to www with .htaccess settings:

# Redirect to www

RewriteEngine On  
RewriteCond %{HTTP\_HOST} ^mysite.local [NC]  
RewriteRule ^(.\*)$ [https://www.mysite.loca/$1](https://www.mysite.loca/%241) [L,R=301]

But this won’t work. The redirection is trying to do its work but I get a “too many redirect” message from the browser.

Local version: 5.9.0+4961  
Server: Apache  
PHP: 7.3.5  
MySql: 8.0.16  
Wp version: 5.5.1  
OS: Windows 10 Family edition

I must precise that I already have a redirect to https rule settings in the .htaccess that is working fine.

Anyone has ever encountered this problem?

Thank you
