title: Redirect HTTPS to HTTP permanently, from Apache VirtualHost
body: <p>There are many questions about redirecting HTTP to HTTPS like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt;
      ServerName www.example.com
      Redirect / https://www.example.com/ 
  &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;
  
  &lt;VirtualHost *:443&gt;
      ServerName www.example.com
      # ... SSL configuration goes here
  &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but I need to do the other way around, from HTTPS to HTTP, possibly by not using mod_rewrite. Is that possible? </p>
  
  <p>Apache Version: Server version: Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu)</p>
  
  <p>I tried this but it doesn't work:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;VirtualHost _default_:443&gt;
          ServerName example.com
          ServerAlias *.example.com
          Redirect "/" "http://example.com/"
  &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;
  </code></pre>
