I have a few static files on a i. subdomain but I don't have an SSL certificate and for its use it doesn't need one, however when I try to access it - it redirects for https which throws up an error and doesn't work.
I am currently using this in my .htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
What is needed to make it ignore the i. subdomain?
Add another condition to exclude the subdomain:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^i\.
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
Presumably the www canonicalisation is already handled elsewhere?
This should probably be a 301 (permanent) redirect, rather than a 302 (temporary).
There is no need to capture the RewriteRule pattern (ie. (.*)) unless you are using it in the substitution.
