Redirect from HTTPS to HTTP in Joomla 3.x

Question

I have website which works good as HTTP and HTTPS. Now I want to redirect HTTPS to HTTP. I put rewrite rule into .htaccess file:

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteRule (.*) http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

but this doesn't work. In my index.php file i put code as below:

<?php 

if ($_SERVER['HTTPS'] == "on") {
$url = "http://mysite.pl/pl/";
header("Location: $url");
exit;
} 

?>

This also doesn't work. Please help me what should I do? Thank you.

Answer 1

You can set it in the global configuration . Also see htaccess examples (security)

Answer 2

Try this for .htaccess:

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on  
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !protected [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,R=301]
