Redirect from https to http.

[JosePP]

Hi Sandeep, we have a client with CWP that wants to redirect a domain from https to http, in CWP it has been practically impossible for us, we fall into a redirection loop. Is there any trick to do it in CWP?

Greetings!

Hey @JosePP,

It's very simple, just use a config on the WebServer for the domain without HTTPS, so the webserver is open to 2 protocols (HTTP / HTTPS).

Then just add a redirect to htaccess, with code like this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteRule (.*) http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

@gpl-one Hello!

I thought that was easy, until I came across this problem at CWP hahaha

I have exactly the same code that you tell me and CWP ignores it completely, look:

I thought it was fine, besides, my code is very similar to yours, but it doesn't listen to me.

What am I doing wrong?

probably cache ? its better to check http headers if its redirecting to http.

According to this tool it does not seem to be caching.

I open it from tor and it does not redirect me either.

cache can be your browser, seems you're getting 200 status code the redirect is not working. You also need to edit your site URL settings.

Hey @JosePP

I checked your site and it is working as I had spoken with the 2 protocols working without redirect.

I think there must be a problem using the {HTTP_HOST} and {REQUEST_URI} variables on your server.

You can try to declare the URL directly without using apache variables, like this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://inprenta.eus/$1 [L,R=301]

After inserting the code, restart the Web Server and try to access the site in an anonymous tab in your browser, I think it should work that way.

@gpl-one Nothing, I don't understand why he doesn't listen to me... I'm already bored with the problem. hahahaha
