I am working on a site that, when accessed via http , gets auto redirected to https . We're trying to determine where this is occurring. So far we've looked in the following places: .htaccess in apache in the httpd.conf in the php file of a test page we wrote (site.com/test.php) I'm thinking there could be some other conf file in apache that this redirect stuff would be occurring.. where else should I look?

How to determine where a redirect to https is occurring

I am working on a site that, when accessed via http, gets auto redirected to https. We're trying to determine where this is occurring. So far we've looked in the following places:

.htaccess
in apache in the httpd.conf
in the php file of a test page we wrote (site.com/test.php)

I'm thinking there could be some other conf file in apache that this redirect stuff would be occurring..

where else should I look?

Since the sites are served by a load balancer, it turns out that the redirect to https logic was actually being implemented at the load balancer level.

Sometimes I had this error too until I find out, that for firefox it is useless to edit anything as long as the cache is active. Since then I deactivate the cache with the help of web developer.

I have had this same exact problem before. Did you take a look in your vhost file(s)?

Usually stored in /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/

My bet is you have a general rule to redirect such as www.google.com/cars/* will always redirect to https.
