Redirect https to http except onepagecheckout in .htaccess

Question

I want to redirect all my https to http except for this below url.

https://uae.example.com/ae_en/onepagecheckout/

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^$onepagecheckout
RewriteRule (.*) http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

This code is working and redirecting all https to http but it seems my 2nd RewriteCond is not working. Please help

Answer 1

Have it this way:

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} !/onepagecheckout [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,NE,L]

Use %{THE_REQUEST} variable instead of %{REQUEST_URI} with correct regex pattern.
