https to http

Want to redirect https to http

[atul_iiit]

Hi Apache Gurus,
I am new to web server so ignore if this sounds silly.
I have webserver listening on https as well on http . I want to redirect all requests which comes for https to http so I need a rewrite rule.

For Example when a request comes for

https:/<servername>.<domain name>/**** It should be directed to

http:/<servername>.<domain name>/****

can some one please tell me how to write Rewrite Code for this .

For instance:

# Redirect to from https to http
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteRule ^www.example.com/(.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]

[edit reason] example.com. [/edit]

And it should be preceded by:

RewriteEngine On

By the way, the hyperlink was created automatically by this forum software (you won't include any html tags in your .htaccess file of course).

Thanks John,
So what html tag you are talking above.

Also Can I keep this .access file anywhere in server or on specific place like document root or ..

Also where can I get information about these things which you mentioned above like
%{HTTPS} on or [R=permanent,L]
