How do I redirect from https to http?  The old site had every page accessable thru both, and both were indexed by Google, but now I want it to only go thru http.  How can I set this up when the page url editor only allows me to enter the relative portion of the URL?

btw its ~300 redirects because thats how many urls the old site had.  I guess it will be ~600 redirects if I have to redirect every https individually as well.  My question on performance was about processing time - will it add a significant overhead to each request if it has to match on a long list of URLs?

Hi Bruce, the problem is that none of the pages are secure, and none of the pages should be accessable via https - it must be http only.

Due to problems on the old site (non-DNN), Google was able to access every single page as both https and http, and Google indexed every single page using both https and http.

So I need to 301 redirect https -> http, so that those pages indexed as https are reindexed back to the correct http url.  It is a duplicate content problem.

If I enable SSL, and do not check the Secure checkbox on any pages, do you think this will have the desired effect?  I will have to try it and see what status codes is returned when https is requested.

Thanks, Alan

I see John replied to that thread saying that the connection would be closed because there is no port 443 enabled.  Perhaps you coudl try generating and installing your own certificate, just so that the redirection worked OK.

You could try writing a new rule for the siteurls.config file, but this does 302 redirects, not 301 - still would help though.

The current architecture of the Url master module isn't really set up for handling the https -> http type redirects, although it probably could be done.  I think there is probably an easier way though - like trying out a dummy ssl cert just to get the DNN redirection working.
