apache directives in .httpaccess file

Greetings;

I have a customer who has a website. they want any requests for https://<domain name/somelink/some file> to redirected http://<domain name/somelink/some file> auto-majically. I've tried to add the following to the .httpaccess file in their web directory but even after rebooting the server it does not seem to work. Any advise on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated.

# Redirect HTTPS to HTTP
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} =https
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

Thanks;
Bob
