http/apache/Let's Encrypt and Android

Not sure if what I want to do is possible but currently I am redirecting all HTTP/80 traffic to HTTPS/443 with the statement in the virtual host section

    Redirect / https://server.domain.com/

This works very nicely and redirects the traffic from HTTP to HTTPS

However I have run into a problem with older Android tablets, specifically 7.0 or older and a "Let's Encrypt" certificate (see - https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/letsencrypt-certificates-fails-on-android-phones-running-android-7-or-older )

The data that is being served has no sensitivity so I can remove the encryption altogether but I'd rather keep as much encrypted as possible.

I think I have 3 options
1) disable all forced encryption for this virtual host, if the client chooses HTTPS I can serve it as HTTPS 2) is it possible to redirect traffic to HTTPS and if the certificate comes back as unknown/invalid have the client reconnect via HTTP? 3)  identify the Android version and either redirect to HTTPS if it is >7.0 or leave it as HTTP if it is <= 7.0

I don't know about the feasibility of 2 or 3, I think once the client fails with an unknown certificate the client then simply goes away and reports an error to the user.  Item #3 I don't think is known until after the client successfully negotiates SSL.

Thoughts (other than telling users to dump 8yr old Android tablets)???

Thanks, Jeff
