mod_rewrite rule to strip SSL: https to http
Sat, 2009-11-28 21:28 — bram
One problem with https is that it is not possible to do mass virtual hosting, because the certificate is connected to the hostname, but the hostname is determined by the request. Chicken and egg problem there. In the end you can make a snake-oil certificate for one domain, but it won't work with other domains. If you decide to strip https support for those people who find a way to get there, here is a .httaccess file that will do that:
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteRule ^.* http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [redirect=permanent]
</IfModule>
