I've got a site that's set to use https on all its pages. Both the secure & non-secure urls are set to be https in the admin panel - this is by design.
But I've got a plugin that's creating an xml feed that doesn't work in https.
The file it's creating is /api/xmlrpc - and I'm getting https://mysite.com/api/xmlrpc and the feed wants http://mysite.com/index.php/api/xmlrpc
How do I exempt that file from the HTTPS settings?
My htaccess file: http://pastebin.com/2L0qu3eg
You can set an htaccess rule to check for HTTPS and the url path, similar to the commented out code your htaccess file:
# RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
# RewriteCond $1 !\.(css|js|gif|jpe?g|png|xml) [NC]
# RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
So it would be something like:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/api/xmlrpc$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> and then at the top is fine - the [L] at the end is the flag that that is the last rule that should be processed if the conditions are matched, so as long as you validate the specific url, you should be good.
