 * > with the https: request browser is showing un trusted connection alert,
 * It is supposed to. ‘https’ is for connections that require security, like purchases.
   If it is needed, it is needed. I’m not sure that forcing http connections is 
   the best idea. Why is your site using https? Where are you getting these messages.

 * i dont need an ssl certificate for my site,
    this error only shows if a user 
   inadvertently types in [https://www.mysite.com](https://www.mysite.com) instead
   of [http://www.mysite.com](http://www.mysite.com)
 * a long shot, but it happens
 * so is it possible to divert it to http: ?

 * Yes.

 * You will break anything that tries to use a secure connection though.

 * Somewhere in there is your answer. I have never done this, so I don’t have the
   code to paste in for you, and I don’t have to time to do it for you right now.
   It should be fairly simple though. Something like [this](http://www.warriorforum.com/programming-talk/600925-htaccess-https-http-redirect-entire-site-htaccess-301-redirect-https-http.html#post6291607):
 *     ```
       RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
       RewriteRule (.*) http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
       ```
   
 * Tell me what you’ve done that didn’t work.
