Chrome – How to stop an automatic redirect from “http://” to “https://” in Chrome

google-chrome

I had something set up wacky in our DNS setup which is now resolved.

The remaining problem is that chrome has cached the incorrect setup.

Specifically, when using Chrome http://3rdrevolution.com is now redirecting to https://3rdrevolution.com (naked domain), which is not valid/supported. http://3rdrevolution.com SHOULD redirect to http://www.3rdrevolution.com and then force https://www.3rdrevolution.com.

But on a handful of browsers (including mine) this doesn't happen because of some funky Chrome caching. I tried going to “Privacy -> Clear Cache” but it had no effect.

Anon is right about STS, but there is a way to specifically delete your domain from the set.

  1. Go to chrome://net-internals/#hsts. Enter 3rdrevolution.com under Delete domain security policies and press the Delete button.

  2. Now go to chrome://settings/clearBrowserData, tick the box Cached images and files and press click the button Clear data.
