.htaccess 301 redirect for all https to http EXCEPT ONE PAGE

Question

Here is the code I have currently in my .htaccess file:

Options +FollowSymLinks 
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase / 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com [NC] 
         


        

Answer 1

That was a nice post and it seems to redirect to http properly but i want some thing like the following

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^site\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.site.com/$1 [R=301,L]

#RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
#RewriteRule ^products https://www.site.com/products/ [R=301,L]

# Disable SSL on pages other than payments.php
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^products
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.site.com/$1 [R=301,L]

# Require SSL on payments.php
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^products\/?$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.site.com/$1 [R=301,L]


RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|js|css|static|img|payment|robots\.txt|blank.gif)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

my url is http://www.sitename.com and the trailing forward slash is optional what i need is if there is no text like products in the url then it needs to he http:// and if there is a string products in the uri then it should be https://

how to do that... when i tried it is going to a loop... redirection loop.

i am using codeigniter frame work and i have removed index.php from the url.

so if something like http://sitename.com/products occurred then i want it to be https://sitename.com/products

and if there no products in the url then it should redirect to http://
