Redirect HTTPS request to HTTP WITHOUT SSL running ?

a little weird question ...
This is using Apache 2.2

I would like to get all the traffic coming over to my site from HTTPS
to HTTP
but I don't want to have SSL running.

The situation is that I had my site running on a PC server and moved
it over to a slug (Linksys NSLU2) and I don't need/want SSL anymore
for that.

But I still have users with bookmark with HTTPS in it and I want to
redirect them to HTTP instead.

I can make it work with SSL running (either Rewrite rules or
VirtualHost) but I don't want SSL installed to save resource on the
little unit.

Thanks
Christian

I see, that's what I figure out.
Now I was trying with Custom error, when I try to access the HTTPS I
get
this in the error_log: Invalid method in request \x16\x03\x01

and in the access log : [06/Jun/2007:10:06:42 -0700] "\x16\x03\x01"
302 221

Any chances I could use the custom error to show a page to tell the
user to update the bookmark for example ?

Thanks

I agree it would be ugly, but...

I tried and still doesn't work.. the error doesn't get sent back with
my custom file.
I made sure my custom error were working using a test on 404 and that
works, just doesn't work for the 302...

Nonsense, mod_rewrite should still be able to see the RAW _request_ as
usual, just not the _content_ or _header_

Any suggestion on writing the rule ?
