ssl certificate www apache (modrewrite) ev

modrewrite simply hoop stripping www off front domain.

in .htaccess:

rewriteengine on
rewritecond %{https} on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^www\.(.+)$ [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ https://%1/$1 [r=301,l]
rewritecond %{https} off
rewritecond %{http_host} ^www\.(.+)$ [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [r=301,l]

but ssl, certificate check comes before .htaccess rewrite, causing certificate error.

i rather buy an ssl certificate www wholly route it.

can offer me smarter solution?
(btw ev certificates accessible wildcards)
