You cannot rewrite from http to https. A rewrite connects a URL request with an internal file.

In this case, it looks like you might need a redirect instead of a rewrite.

Check [google.com...] for some pointers to get started and post your best effort back here for discussion.

redirect work well for index.php
in redirect 301 /index.php [mysite.com...]
but not work in:
in redirect 301 index.php?option=com_chronocontact&chronoformname=order [mysite.com...]

any idea ?

Redirect cannot see parameters appended to a URL.

You will need to use RewriteRule for this redirect, with the [R=301,L] flag; as well as a RewriteCond that looks at QUERY_STRING too.

There are a large number of previous examples using these.

Use the redirect form of mod_rewrite, and check the query string using a RewriteCond:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
#
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =www.example.com
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !=443
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} =option=com_chronocontact&chronoformname=form1
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ https://www.example.com/index.php [R=301,L]

This code is intended for use in example.com/.htaccess. It also assumes that all http and https requests resolve to that same directory, that no other mod-rewrite rules are present, and that only requests with that *exact* query string are to be redirected. If any of these assumptions are not true, you should tell us.

Note that query strings pass through mod_rewrite unchanged unless they are explicitly replaced in the substitution URL. It is therefore not necessary to mention the query string in the RewriteRule substitution in this case.

(but only without the line:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =www\.mydomain\.co.uk

Yes -- Sorry, I had several typos in that line. I fixed it above so that no-one else would have the same problem. Remove the backslashes from the pattern, as they should not be used with a literal string compare. They are only needed for regular-expressions compares.
