Stop Chrome From Automatically Redirecting Https
Open HSTS settings in net-internals in Chrome
In a new browser tab, go to chrome://net-internals/#hsts. This is the configuration area for HSTS.
What is HSTS?
According to Google Chrome, an HSTS is HTTP Strict Transport Security—a way for sites to elect to always use HTTPS.
Delete domain security policies for the domain
Scroll down to “Delete domain security policies” and enter the root domain that’s causing you issues. For example, I entered howchoo.com to prevent the domain from automatically redirecting to https.
Then, click the Delete button.
Visit the website to test
Visit the http version of the URL that was giving you problems. You should no longer get redirected.
Still getting redirected?
If you’re still getting redirected, try clearing your browser cache by navigating to Chrome > Settings > Privacy and security (or by visiting chrome://settings/privacy in your browser) and clear your browsing data.
