How to forward all HTTPs traffic to HTTP?

Hi Everyone,

Does this question belong to firewall section? I want to forward any HTTPs requests to HTTP. E.g. user browsing https://gmail.com to be forwarded to http://gmail.com

Any input is much appreciated.

Hi,

I do not know a solution for that, but I am interested in, why you want to do that ?

Packet sniffing.

Any suggestions please?

AFAIK, you'll have to just block 443.

There are multiple sites that don't have HTTP equivalents. Banks, merchants, etc.

So, any way I can block specific domains rather than simply port 443 which will block all access as you suggested? Domains and not IPs as Domains can occasionally map out to different IPs.

Regards,
