Redirect Https To Http

Just recently noticed I have an index page indexed in Big G that is https://. How can I get that permanently redirected through .htaccess?

 

Great Success ! Apache is working on your cPanel® and WHM™ Server. If you can see this page, then the people who manage this server have installed cPanel ...

I also have a page that is showing the same as the real page except instead of = it is showing %3D and I can't get that to redirect permanently for some reason. Oh, and for some reason I have webmail.website.com showing up in google's index. Is there a way to hide that somehow? Can't understand why that would even be indexed.

You can redirect that URL via a standard redirect in htaccess or via port. However, SSL negotiation occurs before any redirection takes place, therefore, if you have no SSL certificate installed then the redirect will never complete.

I tried to redirect last night via .htaccess and no luck. Keep getting errors. I don't guess I get what you're saying. I get the same sort of error when I use https://totalchoicehosting.com yet I go to, say Twitter https://www.twitter.com , and theirs somehow redirects just fine to http:// versus https://twitter.com/ which resolves perfectly, no issues. Has to be some way around this issue to get it to redirect to http://, correct?

Please note that https and http are two different protocols working on two different ports. Hence the SSL negotiation is the first one take before the htaccess redirects and https://****** calls cannot be redirected on a shared server without a dedicated SSL installed. And yes TCH and Twitter is having a dedicated SSL installed and that is why its working over there.

Using https, it seems it is very easy to find out the server details etc etc from the default screen which displays. But this is the exact information which is nobody's business and is hidden by using error pages in a standard http url.

 

So the question is this: if I can't redirect away from that https page on a shared server, is it possible to have the page changed (presumably by you) so the server information and the other technical details are no longer shown? In other words, a more professional looking page should be returned. Ideally - in my opinion - a blank page.

 

Thanks for your input.
