Serving a http version of a https website – possible?

  • Hi,

    I’ve just built a WordPress website for a client which runs entirely under https. I’ve been asked whether it’s possible to serve a http version of the site to visitors within a certain domain – apparently they are unable to view SSL websites (I know, go figure!)

    Obviously it’s going to require some htaccess mod_rewrite trickery but what referrer information might it be possible to base the redirect on?

    Any thoughts?
    Cheers

  • Hi Kevin,

    Hope you are having a great day so far.

    First of all you will want to make sure that your server can serve site on port 80 – which is for the standard HTTP protocol.
    It might be configured to serve just HTTPS on port 443 – it is rare, but still possible.

    I’ve been asked whether it’s possible to serve a http version of the site to visitors within a certain domain

    What do you mean by this? Are you running multisite and you want to exclude just a subsite?
    Or you just want the site to be accessible from both HTTP and HTTPS?

    Also a link to the site might be useful.

    Thanks,
    Ivan
