I currently have a site where you use an SSL certificate, as the certificate has expired and needs to be renewed, SSL error occurs on any browser, making it impossible for users to visit.
I would like to redirect traffic https:// to http:// using .htaccess .
Here is in PHP as you wish: (answer edited by @Bacco)
<?php
function ForceHTTP() {
if ($_SERVER['HTTPS'] == "on") {
$url = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
$new_url = "http://" . $url . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
header("Location: $new_url");
exit;
}
}
?>
Do not forget to "call" the function:
<?php ForceHTTP(); ?>
Or with .htaccess to always open in HTTP://
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteRule (.*) http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
Or with .htaccess to always open in HTTPS:// (which is how I use it on my site):
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
Try it like this, I think it solves your problem. Add these lines to your .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteRule (.*) http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
