class B thing comes from Destry as I hadn’t heard that terminology before.
To set the record straight on this…
‘No-WWW’ was a campaign started in March 2003. The site made very few blog posts in its lifetime because it didn’t need to have much. Here’s a grab from 2013, showing all posts up to the last one in December 2012. The site went offline sometime after April 2016.
The earlier posts make the argument about not needing ‘www’ on URLs and provide that set of mod_rewrite rules. Their argument made a lot of sense to me by the time I found it in 2005 or so, notably the parts about usability and indexing redundancy (if you didn’t point one way or the other specifically), and I stuck with it ever since without much thinking about it. I noted over the years a lot of the digerati opted against ‘www’ too, including Textism.
I don’t think it matters on a technological level whether you use one or the other. The important thing is you decide which to use and stick with it.
However, I was just reading this, To www or not www, which talks about passing cookies down to subdomains from the ‘origin’ (a useful term). I don’t really follow what he’s talking about, but I’d like to grasp it better in case it concerns me, as I have tended to favour more use of subdomains over buying different domains as a way to keep overhead costs down. His article argues for using ‘www’, but if you read down into the comments, he later changes his mind and decides to keep no www (Class B).
Ultimately I like no www for being less crufty and easier to read/use; ‘www’ just seems like pointless, redundant, irrelevant, geeknoobspeak. I remember TBL, or whoever it was responsible, once saying he regretted using the // in URLs too, that it was completely unnecessary, but now has become so after the infrastructure changes, or whatever. Boo.

Re: http to https in textpattern
Howdi. Just a clarification here.
Does
define('PROTOCOL', 'https://');globally change all of my hardcoded internal links within my website or do I need to change each individually?
I’ve stupidly been putting this off because I have 1200+ pages with many internal hardcoded links on each page. Probably 10k hardcoded links in all . . .

I think a MySQL search and replace query might do the trick here. Some background reading: stackoverflow.com/questions/42857921/search-replace-http-to-https-in-database

Re: http to https in textpattern
Thanks for that.
It seemed too easy.
But I do like the idea of the magic wand approach rather than hard work.

Make a database backup, and give it a spin. Heck, you could even take a backup, make a known-good copy of the backup, open the first backup SQL in a text editor and do a search and replace in that, then re-import it – same effect, but a bit more obvious in an editor.

Only those generated by Textpattern tags.
gaekwad’s tip(s) work well, though. Relative internal links don’t need any changes, and external links are irrelevant too – that depends on the other sites.

Or even click on the link to your site in this forum:)
Untested but you could make a redirect in your htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.bicilogic.com/$1 [R,L]Yiannis

Re: http to https in textpattern
whtf! If HTTPS is going to be such a damm hassle
this is what firefox reports:
The page isn’t redirecting properly
An error occurred during a connection to bicilogic.com.
This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.i deleted the rule and it works again. IF i enter https://bicilogic.com
anyone typing bicilogic.com gets an error.
