SSL Redirect outside of mod_rewrite (.htaccess)!?

Hi All, I hope I can pick your brains as I'm losing my mind. I've been trying to write some .htaccess code to STOP https redirects for a specific path. The whole site is under SSL which I thought was being controlled by mod_rewrite but its important one URL isn't. After hours I removed the .htaccess file (in the root of the public_html folder) all together. To my surprise it STILL redirected to https!? Does anyone know of anywhere else I can look in WHM or server as a whole to see whats causing the forced SSL?

  Hello, Are you using any CMS scripts for your site? Try to check our site databases for that redirection. If you are using word-press, then you need to check your sites links your wordpress databases.

  Thanks for your reply. It's all bespoke Laravel stuff. I've downloaded and searched the code for redirects. I wonder if the browser can cache redirects? They are all permanent 301 redirects.

  Hello :) Do you have any .htaccess files outside of the account's public_html directory? Thank you.

  Thanks for the reply. There is only one .htaccess file in the public_html folder.

  I completely emptied the public_html folder and only put an index.html file. The domain will still only load under SSL! Is there anywhere I can look in the vhosts config for SSL to be forced?

  Can you reproduce the issue if you create a new subdirectory under the public_html directory with a simple HTML file? Thank you.
