I\'m trying to rewrite urls from the form:
https://example.com/about
to the form
http://example.com/about
Turns out that I had port :443 bound to a different website!
The above rewrite rules work fine for http:// to https:// rewriting and vice-versa -- though there might be more optimal or simple ways to do it.
Leaving this question here for future voyagers to find, as I didn't see many good examples of the https:// to http:// rewriting scenario on the web.
