How to have a combination of both HTTP and HTTPS pages in the same SharePoint 2010 site with configuration only without writing code?
Why?
It is a very common requirement to have a mix of HTTP and HTTPS pages in public facing SharePoint sites. Examples of such pages generally are login pages, contact forms, new testimonial form pages, new user review form pages and any other pages that capture sensitive data from users. In these cases, only those specific pages must be loaded as HTTPS pages where as the rest of the pages in the site must be loaded as HTTP pages.
