How to use a redirect with an expired SSL

08 May 2012, 13:27

I have a site that was secured with SSL. The SSL has expired and the cert has been removed. How can I redirect the traffic to the non-secure root of the site? No matter what I have tried, the browser stops everything because it can't establish a secure connection. Can't I intercept the call and redirect to the site root?

Hello,

Unfortunately, there's not much that you can do. Certificate verification runs when you just establish connection, so there's no way redirect will occur before that. So your redirect would work, but after customer hits the button in his browser agreeing to enter non-secure site

There're a lot of threads like this in Internet that you may check.

Regards
Andrew
