How to redirect from HTTPS to HTTP?

Question

I have a Website. Where I need to redirect all the pages from HTTP to HTTPS. But there are two page which should not served over HTTPS.

Home Page - www.hellomysite.com
Dealers Page -www.hellomysite.com/dealers

Even if user has entered the url as https://www.hellomysite.com/dealers, it should be served over HTTP. http://www.hellomysite.com/dealers

I googled & found number of links but none of them is redirected.

.htaccess

  #Redirect all request to HTTPS
  RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.hellomysite\.com*
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://hellomysite.com/$1 [L,R=301]


  #RewriteCond %{HTTPS}  on [OR]
  #RewriteRule  ^https://hellomysite.com/dealers$   http://hellomysite/dealers [R=301,L,QSA]

If I try anything more, then I get an error on opening the site as

This website has too many redirects

How do I redirect Home Page & the dealers page to HTTP.

If i understand you the following code will solve it :

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =off

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !\/index\.php [NC]
#the above line will exclude https://www.hellomysite.com/index.php
# from the following rules

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !\/dealers\.php [NC]
# the above line will exclude the https://www.hellomysite.com/dealers.php
# from the following rules

RewriteRule (.+) https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,R=301]
# above line will force every pages and directories ,except those who 
# excluded above and the main root , to redirect from http to https
# (.+) means not to consider http://www.hellomysite.com/ and if you
# change it by  (.*) it will be considered

Now you can force entire web site to redirect from http to https except www.hellomysite.com and www.hellomysite.com/dealers.

Note : please make sure that you empty browser cache before testing above code

Nopes.. it redirects every page to HTTP, just FYI I don't have index.php or any page with .php extension. I am using Drupal — aarti, May 07 '16 at 15:20

Try :

  #Redirect all request to HTTPS
  RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.
  RewriteRule !^$|dealer https://hellomysite.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

Is it 404? make sure the destination url exists. Try clearing browser caches – Amit Verma May 07 '16 at 13:29
No. Misconfiguration error in the .htaccess with line number pointing to the rule – aarti May 07 '16 at 13:48
@Aarti The rule I posted works fine on my server. I can redirect all http requests (except root and /dealer) to https . – Amit Verma May 07 '16 at 13:53
I rechecked, it does but due it a long query string is appende in the url of the browser as ~2621934.2876410/htdocs/dev/index.php?q=products – aarti May 07 '16 at 15:39
@Aarti this is probably happening because of other rules. please post your full htaccess. – Amit Verma May 07 '16 at 16:13
Please check this link to access the file http://wikisend.com/download/426648/.htaccess – aarti May 07 '16 at 18:35
@Aarti they are telling me to download the htaccess. Can't you post the code here? – Amit Verma May 07 '16 at 18:44
