How to redirect example.com to http://example.com?

How to redirect example.com to http://example.com? - If a page has internal and external outgoing links to redirecting URLs, it’s returning 3xx (301, 302, etc.) HTTP status codes standing for redirection. This issue means that the page does not exist on a permanent or temporary basis. It appears on most of the popular web browsers, usually caused by a misconfigured website. However, there are some steps you can take to ensure the issue isn’t on your side. You can find more details about redirecting URLs by reading the Google Search Central overview. In this article, we’ll go over how you can fix the How to redirect example.com to http://example.com? error on your web browser. Problem :

I have a blog at blogger.com, for which I got a domain name from godaddy.com. Recently I have decided to put some google AdSense ads on it to see how that goes.

The problem I encountered is that AdSense will not take the URL
http://www.example.com, apparently it has to be http://example.com
My blog is accesible at example.com and www.example.com
but not at http://example.com as Adsense requires.

I've been looking for an answer for few hours now but all I came up with was about forwarding to the naked domain(which I already did) and editing the robots.txt file (which i have no clue about).

Any advice will be highly appreciated.

Solution :

Google Chrome (and possibly other browsers) hide the http:// part in the browser address bar, but it is there. If your site is accessible on example.com then you are accessing it at http://example.com/ whether your browser is showing that or not.
