Htaccess :: HTTPS to HTTP :: Redirect Entire Site ?, .htaccess 301 redirect HTTPS to HTTP Options

[scott g]

I've been doing searches for the answer to this question and I keep finding the answer.. To redirect only a portion of a site... Not what I want. I want to redirect the ENTIRE website!

If (for some reason) the user starts out with HTTPS and types in the rest of my websites URL I get a "Secure Connection Fail" or another error.

Ex. https://lawsuitinformation.org ---> automatically redirect to http://lawsuitinformation.org
((Secure Connection Failed - An error occurred during a connection to lawsuitinformation.org. (Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)))

Ex. https://www.careydanis.com ---> automatically redirect to http://www.careydanis.com
((Unable to connect - Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.careydanis.com.))

Can anyone help me out here?!

CODE

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

NO "(/checkout)" ---> WHOLE site/domain!

Anyone... Anyone...? Everytime I get stuck with something stupid someone on this forum knocks my simple problem out of park! So THANK YOU in advance

If you're using Apache, then the "Resource Moved to Another Server" example here may help:
