Disable HTTPS redirects
I have a simple static site hosted in cloudflare pages. I bought a custom .com domain for it.
My goal is to have the https disabled because I'm developing an app for Mac OS X Tiger and I want users using Safari 4 to be able to use it.
Encryption is set to flexible
Always Use HTTPS is set to OFF
Minimum TLS Version set to 1.0
Automatic HTTPS Rewrites is set to OFF
but when I do
curl -I -L http://tiger-pistats.com I still see the redirect happening.
Is there a way to do what I want? I wouldn't mind (even prefer) if browsers that support it load https, but I'd like to not redirect specific http calls to https.
thank you.5 Replies
Cloudflare Pages does not support unencrypted HTTP, so this isn't possible I'm afraid
Unless you switch to another way to serve content that isn't Pages
Hmm, I was afraid of that 😅 it's not going to be easy to find a good host with this unusual requirement of "I don't want it to be secure" hehe.
99% of websites does't work on Safari 4 because of this, but curiously enough, google SERP and Apple website does work. I wonder how, maybe some specific certs in their server.
Thank you very much for the confirmation, I appreciate the help 🙂
Cloudflare Workers will work on insecure HTTP but you'd have to pay ($5/mo plus usage past 10min req/mo) to get past the free limit of 100k request/day
From that, you can either proxy your pages site (change hostname and then
fetch() in the Worker code) or use the legacy precursor product that let you deploy static sites on Workers: https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/configuration/sites/You could also buy a web hosting package somewhere (I can recommend Hetzner (2€/month) and then set a pagerule to cache everything. As far as I know this should support HTTP.
Yep
