Force NON-ssl connections via htaccess?

[jds43]

I'm trying to append ProcessWire's default htaccess file to redirect all SSL requests to a NON-SSL version of the requested page.

This should work, but it doesn't:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on

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

 

​Could PW be overriding it?

PW already has a mechanism built in that should handle this for you. Edit your templates and look for the URL tab. In the "Scheme/protocol" section choose "HTTP only" and save the change. Repeat for all your templates and you should be set.

Hope that helps.

Thanks, but this feature doesn't appear to kick in in time to prevent my server from attempting to load the SSL certificate. I believe I need an .htaccess solution which will redirect the URL BEFORE ProcessWire is called.

In the processwire htaccess look for these lines

  # -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # If you only want to allow HTTPS, uncomment the RewriteCond and RewriteRule lines below.
  # -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
  # RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L]

and just add yours after those, as this must certainly be the right place to put those redirections

  # -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # If you only want to allow HTTP
  # -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
  RewriteRule (.*) http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
