Redirect a single page from HTTPS to HTTP

Question

I have a site that fully runs on HTTPS. And there is a file that does not need to be loaded in HTTPS. Therefore I tried to redirect it from htaccess but it didnt work.

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteRule ^xml$ http://mysite/api.php [L,R=301]

Here are the lines I tried but they did not work.

I tried this also but negative. HTTPS to HTTP htaccess redirect for home page only

Answer 1

you could just use a simple 301 redirect. Just put this in your .htaccess

redirect 301 /api.php http://mysite/api.php

That should work becuase it's just taking the api.php file on either https or http and telling it to go to
