    <p>How do you redirect HTTPS to HTTP?. That is, the opposite of what (seemingly) everyone teaches.</p> <p>I have a server on HTTPS for which I paid an SSL certification for and a mirror for which I haven't and keep around for just for emergencies so it doesn't merit getting a certification for.</p> <p>On my client's desktops I have SOME shortcuts which point to <code>http://production_server</code> and <code>https://production_server</code> (both work). However, I know that if my production server goes down, then DNS forwarding kicks in and those clients which have "https" on their shortcut will be staring at <code>https://mirror_server</code> (which doesn't work) and a big fat Internet Explorer 7 red screen of uneasyness for my company. </p> <p>Unfortunately, I can't just switch this around at the client level. These users are very computer illiterate: and are very likely to freak out from seeing HTTPS "insecurity" errors (especially the way Firefox 3 and Internet Explorer 7 handle it nowadays: FULL STOP, kind of thankfully, but not helping me here LOL).</p> <p>It's <a href="http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-apache-force-https-secure-connections.html" rel="noreferrer">very easy</a> <a href="http://bytes.com/forum/thread54801.html" rel="noreferrer">to find</a> <a href="http://support.jodohost.com/showthread.php?t=6678" rel="noreferrer">Apache solutions</a> for <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=https+redirection&amp;ie=utf-8&amp;oe=utf-8&amp;aq=t&amp;rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&amp;client=firefox-a" rel="noreferrer">http->https redirection</a>, but for the life of me I can't do the opposite.</p> <p>Ideas?</p>
