Question exclude folder from https redirect

[trensco]

Hello,

I activated under "Domains > example.com > Hosting Settings" the "Permanent SEO-safe 301 redirect from HTTP to HTTPS".

This works very well, but now i want to exclude a whole folder from this redirect.

I got a domain like www.mydomain.com and now i want to exclude www.mydomain/admin/* and everything after admin/ like www.mydomain.com/admin/index.php?cl=****

How i can get this work? I tried to add the line

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/admin/? [NC]

in the /var/www/vhosts/system/mydomain.com/conf/httpd.conf but i will be still redirected to https.

Is there any solution for my problem?

Greetings

Example of how to do a redirect with the exclusion of a path (in this case it is the Let's Encrypt challenge path):

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/.well-known/acme-challenge [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://<target domain>/$1 [L,R=301]

You can adapt this to your needs easily.
If you use such a rewrite rule, you need to disable the "redirect all non-SSL to SSL" setting in the control panel and rather do the redirect yourself.
