Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Does the site even need HTTPS? If not, just delete all the rules sending it back and forth, and create a 301 for each https to go to http. You could probably knock out all 132 in less than 2 hours. (I have done 100 in less than 45 mins ;)) "A uniform redirecting of http to https is not an option so I'm looking to find out the best practice for reconfiguring these 302s to 301s within .htaccess?" Yes, you can do a sitewide redirect to send all URL's to the secure version.  http://www.besthostratings.com/articles/force-ssl-htaccess.html I agree with you tho, that htaccess is a mess lol. If that is any indication of what the rest of the site has in store for you, whew.
