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?

Subject:  Not working: Rewrite from HTTPS to HTTP

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
