Redirects from https to http

I want all of my url to end with slash. But I’m facing a trouble where i have a redirect cycle.

For example: https://mysite.com/blog -> http://mysite.com/blog/ -> https://mysite.com/blog/

So there is an unnecessary redirect from https protocol to http. At first i thought that it was gatsby-plugin-force-traling-slashes, website is built with Drupal9 + Gatsby. I removed this plugin, but redirects kept going. Then i thought, that it could be something in gatsby redirects. Basically i have the plugin, so when building gatsby creates .htaccess file with redirect. So i deleted all these redirects, but redirects kept going. Then i managed to speak with devops, he checked everything in the server, and told that server could not do these redirects. But he told me that there is another .htaccess file in web/ folder.

So i found out this is drupal’s .htaccess file.

Here is the rewrite rules:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>   RewriteEngine on    # Set "protossl" to "s" if we were accessed via https://.  This is used later   # if you enable "www." stripping or enforcement, in order to ensure that   # you don't bounce between http and https.   RewriteRule ^ - [E=protossl]   RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on   RewriteRule ^ - [E=protossl:s]    # Make sure Authorization HTTP header is available to PHP   # even when running as CGI or FastCGI.   RewriteRule ^ - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]    # Block access to "hidden" directories whose names begin with a period. This   # includes directories used by version control systems such as Subversion or   # Git to store control files. Files whose names begin with a period, as well   # as the control files used by CVS, are protected by the FilesMatch directive   # above.   #   # NOTE: This only works when mod_rewrite is loaded. Without mod_rewrite, it is   # not possible to block access to entire directories from .htaccess because   # <DirectoryMatch> is not allowed here.   #   # If you do not have mod_rewrite installed, you should remove these   # directories from your webroot or otherwise protect them from being   # downloaded.   RewriteRule "/.|^.(?!well-known/)" - [F]    # If your site can be accessed both with and without the 'www.' prefix, you   # can use one of the following settings to redirect users to your preferred   # URL, either WITH or WITHOUT the 'www.' prefix. Choose ONLY one option:   #   # To redirect all users to access the site WITH the 'www.' prefix,   # (http://example.com/foo will be redirected to http://www.example.com/foo)   # uncomment the following:   # RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .   # RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www. [NC]   # RewriteRule ^ http%{ENV:protossl}://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]   #   # To redirect all users to access the site WITHOUT the 'www.' prefix,   # (http://www.example.com/foo will be redirected to http://example.com/foo)   # uncomment the following:   # RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.(.+)$ [NC]   # RewriteRule ^ http%{ENV:protossl}://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]    # Modify the RewriteBase if you are using Drupal in a subdirectory or in a   # VirtualDocumentRoot and the rewrite rules are not working properly.   # For example if your site is at http://example.com/drupal uncomment and   # modify the following line:   # RewriteBase /drupal   #   # If your site is running in a VirtualDocumentRoot at http://example.com/,   # uncomment the following line:   # RewriteBase /    # Redirect common PHP files to their new locations.   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)?/(install.php) [OR]   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)?/(rebuild.php)   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !core   RewriteRule ^ %1/core/%2 [L,QSA,R=301]    # Rewrite install.php during installation to see if mod_rewrite is working   RewriteRule ^core/install.php core/install.php?rewrite=ok [QSA,L]    # Pass all requests not referring directly to files in the filesystem to   # index.php.   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/favicon.ico   RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]    # For security reasons, deny access to other PHP files on public sites.   # Note: The following URI conditions are not anchored at the start (^),   # because Drupal may be located in a subdirectory. To further improve   # security, you can replace '!/' with '!^/'.   # Allow access to PHP files in /core (like authorize.php or install.php):   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/core/[^/]*.php$   # Allow access to test-specific PHP files:   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/core/modules/system/tests/https?.php   # Allow access to Statistics module's custom front controller.   # Copy and adapt this rule to directly execute PHP files in contributed or   # custom modules or to run another PHP application in the same directory.   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/core/modules/statistics/statistics.php$   # Deny access to any other PHP files that do not match the rules above.   # Specifically, disallow autoload.php from being served directly.   RewriteRule "^(.+/.*|autoload).php($|/)" - [F]    # Rules to correctly serve gzip compressed CSS and JS files.   # Requires both mod_rewrite and mod_headers to be enabled.   <IfModule mod_headers.c>     # Serve gzip compressed CSS files if they exist and the client accepts gzip.     RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-encoding} gzip     RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.gz -s     RewriteRule ^(.*).css $1.css.gz [QSA]      # Serve gzip compressed JS files if they exist and the client accepts gzip.     RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-encoding} gzip     RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.gz -s     RewriteRule ^(.*).js $1.js.gz [QSA]      # Serve correct content types, and prevent double compression.     RewriteRule .css.gz$ - [T=text/css,E=no-gzip:1,E=no-brotli:1]     RewriteRule .js.gz$ - [T=text/javascript,E=no-gzip:1,E=no-brotli:1]      <FilesMatch "(.js.gz|.css.gz)$">       # Serve correct encoding type.       Header set Content-Encoding gzip       # Force proxies to cache gzipped & non-gzipped css/js files separately.       Header append Vary Accept-Encoding     </FilesMatch>   </IfModule> </IfModule> 

Can anyone help me and tell if there is a rule that does such redirect from https protocol to http? I am not really good at rewrite rules and in drupal.
