Correct Rewrite?

Server NGINX
1

We currently use the following method to perform an http to https
rewrite.

rewrite ^ https://$server_name$request_uri permanent;

I am planning to change it to the preferred method of:

return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;

However, we’d like to also make sure any requests for domain.com are
sent to
www.domain.com, whether someone tries to access domain.com via http or
https.

How would I write the redirect statement to rewrite http:// to https://
but
also rewrite domain.com to www.domain.com?

The way I do this is to use multiple server {} blocks, and put all the
non-canonical hostnames / port 80 requests in a server block with a
return
301 to the canonical (and HTTPS) host which only listens on 443 and the
canonical hostname.

That seems like a very elegant way to handle the problem. I’ll give it a
shot. Thanks!
