Hello, @sungeeservice

Could you please let me know if you’re using Nginx or Apache? In Apache you need to set Allow Override to All under the secure virtual host at port 443.

The following code in the htaccess file allows to force https across the whole website except a specific folder:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/webservice     [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}  [R=301,L]

So any request to http would go to https. However you still need to explicitly change requests to https on your specified folder to redirect to http, so added the following code after the above:

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /webservice      [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

Hope this helps

Regards, Alex
