If you're using Apache, you can use mod_rewrite to rewrite https to http
requests. I'm doing the exact opposite using this rule:


RewriteEngine   on
RewriteCond     %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$
RewriteRule     ^(.*)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}$1 [L,R]
RewriteRule     ^/$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}/ [L,R]

Enable the module using "a2enmod rewrite". Adapt the above example
appropriately.
