 * Hi,
 * I’ve just built a WordPress website for a client which runs entirely under https.
   I’ve been asked whether it’s possible to serve a http version of the site to 
   visitors within a certain domain – apparently they are unable to view SSL websites(
   I know, go figure!)
 * Obviously it’s going to require some htaccess mod_rewrite trickery but what referrer
   information might it be possible to base the redirect on?
 * Any thoughts?
    Cheers Kevin

 * Hi Kevin,
 * Hope you are having a great day so far.
 * First of all you will want to make sure that your server can serve site on port
   80 – which is for the standard HTTP protocol.
    It might be configured to serve
   just HTTPS on port 443 – it is rare, but still possible.

 * What do you mean by this? Are you running multisite and you want to exclude just
   a subsite?
    Or you just want the site to be accessible from both HTTP and HTTPS?
 * Also a link to the site might be useful.
 * Thanks,
    Ivan
