Can we redirect HTTPS to HTTP?

It is not recommended to redirect HTTPS URLs to HTTP URLs as the HTTP protocol does not provide the integrity and confidentiality of data between your visitor and your site. The HTTPS protocol is considered to be better as it is secure - it encrypts the information between your browser and the website.

Is it possible to redirect HTTPS to HTTP in modern browsers?

You can't redirect HTTPS to HTTP in a way that doesn't say that the site is insecure. It is not allowed / supported because doing that is insecure. (Basically you are trying to get the user's browser to lie to the user about the security of their session.)

Can I intercept HTTPS traffic?

Interception of this secure HTTPS traffic is possible at various points but it is normally not possible to achieve the decryption of the HTTPS traffic due to the secrecy algorithms used for encryption of the data.

Can we bypass HTTPS?

So whenever the target person tries to go to any website, they'll be redirected to the HTTP page of this website. To bypass the warning, we are going to use a tool called SSLstrip to downgrade any request to the HTTPS website and get it redirected to the HTTP version of this website.

Can we use 443 for HTTP?

HTTPS is secure and is on port 443, while HTTP is unsecured and available on port 80. Information that travels on the port 443 is encrypted using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or its new version, Transport Layer Security (TLS) and hence safer.

Is it good to have mix of HTTP and HTTPS?

With mixed content, users will be under the impression that they are on a secure, encrypted connection because they are on an HTTPS-protected site, but the unencrypted elements of the page create vulnerabilities, opening up those users to malicious activity such as unauthorized tracking and on-path attacks.

Can you run http and https on the same port?

For those who find this question through Google: Serving both HTTP and HTTPS on the same port is totally possible — see github.com/mscdex/httpolyglot .

Should we redirect HTTP to HTTPS?

Without SSL, your website will show insecure to the visitors. Therefore, using an SSL-encrypted connection for safety, accessibility or PCI compliance reasons is necessary. It becomes very important to redirect from HTTP to HTTPS.

Can we use 443 for HTTP?

HTTPS is secure and is on port 443, while HTTP is unsecured and available on port 80. Information that travels on the port 443 is encrypted using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or its new version, Transport Layer Security (TLS) and hence safer.

Why does HTTP redirect to HTTPS?

Essentially, HTTPS is just a version of HTTP-but with the addition of a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. SSL represents yet another internet protocol that was developed to make certain online transactions safer: especially those that require the transfer of sensitive information.
