I signed up for shared hosting through hostgator. I had to modify the .htaccess file so that it would recognize my SSL certificate; everything works so long as I type out https://mywebsite.com instead of mywebsite.com. How do I rewrite this file so that I automatically redirect all http requests to https instead? Thanks!

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://mywebsite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
