[users@httpd] Redirect https -> http

[Peter Gordon <pe...@pg-consultants.com>]

Server version: Apache/2.2.4 (Unix)
Server built:   Apr 22 2007 15:51:28


I have the following rule in httpd.conf. It forces redirection from http -> https and works correctly.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^/(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [L,R]
RewriteLogLevel 9
RewriteLog "/var/log/rewrite.log"


I replaced the rules above with the following rules, which are meant to redirect https->http. 
It does not work. No redirect takes place and nothing is logged in the rewrite log file. When I use an https:/ url
it continues as an https url.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=off
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [L,R]
RewriteLogLevel 9
RewriteLog "/var/log/rewrite.log"

Any help would be appreciated.

Peter

The fact that nothing is in the RewriteLog implies that the rules
aren't even being considered for the request. This is likely happening
because ssl requests are being served out of a <VirtualHost> block. To
get the mod_rewrite stuff applied, you need to put
RewriteEngine On
RewriteOptions inherit
inside the ssl <VirtualHost> block.
