[users@httpd] Not working: Rewrite from HTTPS to HTTP

[Pradeep Phalgunan Kalliat <Pr...@infosys.com>]

Hi All,

I have a situation where my web application is throwing errors because of some problems with the SSL certificate. I want to redirect https requests to http till the certificate problems are resolved. 

At first, I modified my redirect to HTTPS rule 

From: RewriteRule ^/(.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [NC,R,L]
To: RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [NC,R,L]

When I tried to access the site using https, it seemed from the status bar that the browser was loading the page over and over but the contents page would show only a blank white screen. There is no end, this just keeps repeating.

I googled and found a lot of other options but they don't seem to work. I tried

1:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^443$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mysite.com/$1 [R,L]

2:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^443$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mysite.com/$1 [R,L]

3:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^443$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteRule (.*) <http://%>{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

None of these seem to be working. The browser still takes me to the https URL for the web app.

Please could someone help?

Thanks,
Pradeep

Hi Pradeep,
Um, what's wrong with a:

Redirect 302 /myappdir/somedir/ http://example.org/myappdir/somedir/

Rob


Please consider the environment - do you really need to print this
email?
