meaku - thanks for this! Any chance you can help me add a line so Windows Phone 8.1 / Nokia Lumia 1020 (NOKIA 909) so it will not be ssl? I have discovered an issue with the certificates on this phone. I also need a way to troubleshoot it - how do I add a line so I can see Internet Explorer 11 is or is not switching to https:// or http:// - Thanks!

I try the following and get no errors but it is not changing the ssl as I need - what am I missing?

# Redirect all users except windows phone 8 ... & Android < 4 to HTTPS
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !windows\ phone\ 8\.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !Lumia\ 1020
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !MSIE\ 11\.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !Android.*(Mobile)?\ [0-3]
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L]

y59, not everyone has access to the server config file, but many do have edit power over .htaccess. Therefore, how would you reformat your suggested code for use in .htaccess?
