Chrome persistently redirecting to HTTPS for HTTP site
I'm building a site to replace an older site. The newer site currently is NOT HTTPS. However, the old site is HTTPS. I'm switching between the two sites by toggling an entry in my 'hosts' file.
I occasionally need to access the old site. When I do, it forcibly redirects to https://, but when I switch back to the new site, Chrome is then broken and will not let me get to http:// to the site but forcibly redirects to https:// which gives me the obvious "Privacy Error" warning and screws up a number of other things (it's WordPress, so it asks me to re-login, but I can't).
How the heck can I force Chrome to stop redirecting to https://? I tried chrome://net-internals/#hsts and I deleted the domain security policies for the site, but it seems to do absolutely nothing. Chrome still redirects. I also tried refreshing clearing cache - this doesn't work either.

Have you considered the possibility of using another browser?

Well, I would have figure Firefox wouldn't be as frustrating, but it seems to do the same thing. Maybe there's an extension or a flag or something for Firefox to get around this?

You may have a Wordpress plugin redirecting to https automatically. If you can, check your plugins for such redirects. If not, attempt to put https on your site.

Sorry, not sure if my question makes this clear enough: The old site is redirecting to https: - the new site is not. I know it isn't because after about an hour or so it does finally work again. I can't install SSL yet without screwing up the old server since the certificate has been validated for the old site's server and not the new one.
