Exclude specific frontend URL from https://

Question

I have a Magento website and have enabled https:// across the whole site by configuring the unsecure Base URL. The site also uses the following API URL which CANNOT be https, but because of the config settings is redirects to https:

http://www.domain.com/index.php/api/v2_soap/index/?wsdl=1

Is there a way that I can exclude certain URLs from using secure URLs?

• Baby in Magento: enable https only for secure pages and than use https for required pages. so that remaining pages will exclude from https.

Answer 1

Extend Magento's controller that forces the redirect to https (about the controller). When your module detects this URL instruct Magento to bypass the https redirect.

• Ottonet: Im having the exact same problem and it's giving me headaches. @AdamMoss We're you able to fix this using iusemagentonow's answer? Could either of you post an code example?
• Adam Moss: I've played around in this file but I can't identify how to stop this redirecting. I tried putting this around the rewrite method in the dispatch(0 function: if ($request->getRequestUri() !== "/api/v2_soap/index/?wsdl=1") { $this->_getRequestRewriteController()->rewrite(); } but no luck.
