On one Craft CMS site I have, all control panel URLs I call over HTTP are rewritten to HTTPS. E.g. the login page, as well as all its assets, are being served via https://www.mywebsite.com/admin/….

The rest of the site is available via https://www.mywebsite.com/

I've already tried to enforce HTTP via mod.rewrite in .htaccess, as well as explicitly setting baseCpUrl and an new cpTrigger in config/general – with no success at all.

Is this a feature that I can deactivate? A bug in Craft CMS 2.4.2670?
Or is this a server-side issue?

    This is going to be something on the server side. Maybe share your .htaccess file as well as what's in your craft/config/general.php file? – Brad Bell Sep 11 '15 at 15:57
  • At first, I blamed the server, too, since my other Craft instances on other servers work flawlessly. But: why only the control panel, not the main site? How can one trigger a different protocol than the other? Anyway, here are my current .htaccess and config/general.php files: avantlalettre.ch/files/htaccess.txt ; avantlalettre.ch/files/config-general.txt — Thanks for checking it out! – Avant la lettre Sep 12 '15 at 0:13
  • Try removing everything after RewriteRule (.+) index.php?p=$1 [QSA,L] in your .htaccess file and see if that helps. – Brad Bell Sep 12 '15 at 4:51

    So the server is switching to https and you want http instead? That won't happen automatically since you'd need a certificate, server config, etc. Sounds like there's more directives in apache's config/virtual host config.. Who runs your server? That's where I'd start... – RitterKnight Sep 14 '15 at 4:55

It turned out not to be Craft's fault, indeed:

On the server, the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO environment variable was erroneously set to https in the reverse proxy – an issue that my hosting provider had to resolve.

(As a quick fix, the following line in index.php did the trick, too:)

 apache_setenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO', 'http');

Thanks to @brad-bell and @ritterknight for pointing in the right direction!

    Glad to hear you got it sorted. Those sorts of problems can be maddening... – RitterKnight Sep 15 '15 at 16:33
