    How remove https protocol for site pages

    Hi,

    I've inherited a site which uses Umbraco 7 and after installing the site (and database) locally I've realized that everything uses the https protocol prefix. Now, I need to use a software in order to make my local site publicly visible so that I can test Facebook OG tags, and this software does not support SSL/https.

    Therefore, how can I temporarily disable this prefix and functionality? So that I can test using this third party software ("Forward")?

    There is a rule in the <rewrite> tag in the web.config called "Redirect HTTP to HTTPS" and I commented it out and restarted the site but it has had no effect. What else do I need to do so that I can simply see the site pages with http:// instead, without all the errors in every browser? This site is running on IIS.

    Thanks, Garrett

    In your web.config, under Appsettings, did you set the "umbracoUseSSL" to false?

    Always was:

    <add key="umbracoUseSSL" value="false" />
    

    Which makes the problem even more confusing. I don't know how this site is insisting on https. Any other ideas?

    Thanks for your reply,

    Garrett

    How about the methods this guys suggests for forcing https.

    Is any of those in your code? If not I'm at a loss.

    Well I didn't want you to lose but no, the site is not using any of these methods as far as my searches have revealed. I am stuck in SSL!

    What I am needing here is to find a software to make my local site public for testing purposes and I haven't found any I can properly understand which can handle https. Do you know anything I can use for this?

    Thanks again,

    Garrett
