: How can I disable the certificate/SSL handshake on the 'www' version of my site served by Apache? We use SSL on the https://www version of our website. Now I would like to disable the SSL

You could do this in your .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine on

# if https and starts with www, go to http version
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

# if not https and it doesnt start with www, go to https version
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^80$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
