Forcing SSL and WWW using .htaccess

I would like to know if this code in .htaccess for forcing SSL and WWW in URL is correct, because with another codes I usually get redirect loop, e.g. RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on and now it works like a charm (suspiciously). Also, is possible to write it better/simplier?

# Force to SSL
RewriteCond %{HTTP:HTTPS} !1
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

# Force to WWW
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

I think this is a great snippet. Not necessary to type a domain. This is forcing WWW and HTTPS in any case. This is dealing with subfolders as well.

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

Sorry for bumping this topic but I just wanted to add a simple solution for search engine visitors.

RewriteEngine on
# Force WWW & SSL
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.stackoverflow.com/$1 [L,R=301]

# All calls go to SSL
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{ENV:HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

That's a bit simpler.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]

Use this:

RewriteEngine on

# Force www: from http://stackoverflow.com/a/4958847/1078583
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS}s ^on(s)|
RewriteRule ^ http%1://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

# Force SSL: From http://stackoverflow.com/q/24322035/
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=302,L,NE]
