how to exclude certain subdomain from entire website HTTPS?

My website had enabled HTTPS for entire site (SSL certificate is for *.domain.com ). But now, I need to exclude two subdomains, because those two subdomains are actually CNAME links to external resources, which do NOT allow accessing with HTTPS protocol.

How can I exclude those two subdomains from SSL when entire website had enabled HTTPS?

Thank you.

Please try the following code -

Code: Select all

RewriteRule (.*)  https://www.mydomain.com$1 [R=301,L]

I need to use HTTPS for ALL my URLs except:

Code: Select all

image.mydomain.com
file.mydomain.com

Your rewrite rule does not work.

Thank you.

When you add the web domains image.mydomain.com and file.mydomain.com don't enable ssl/https.

When I tried to add new web record in VestaCP, there is no input box for subdomains. And, the IP address is fixed, I can not input other IP address.

But, my subdomain image.mydomain.com was linked to other IP address via CNAME record on my domain registration account.

Do you really understood my situation here?

Thank you.

Subdomains are added similar to normal domains. It's normal that only the IP's assigned to your server are visible when you add your 'web domain'. If you add only your main domain and enable your SSL certificate, only that domain can be accessed over SSL.
