301 redirect excluding https

[rachel123]

Hi, I was referred here by the Google webmaster forum. I need some help with .htaccess. I am a total beginner, I just need to know what code to use to accomplish this. My preferred form
is the www. The www version of my site has a PageRank 5 and all the
backlinks I can find use the www.

Problem is my checkout SSL runs under the non www.
This was a mistake by my former hosting co. as I had requested the www.
on the cert. They apologized and then tried to sell me a new cert,
which I didn't want to pay for.

So, I while I would dearly love to do the global redirect to www., if
I do, it breaks my checkout pages. Is there anyway to do the redirect
but "exclude" https? Help please!
