How to force http- NOT https using htaccess

Question

I have ONE directory for my entire domain that I want to force https, which is "/docs". In the /docs folder, I have the following htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

This is forcing https to everything in the /docs directory, which is what I want it to do. The problem I am having is trying to force REMOVE https back to http for all other areas of my site. In the root folder of the site (which is running wordpress), I have the following htaccess file:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/docs/?.*$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Unfortunately, this is not working. I can still access other areas of my site over https.

What do I need to change to get this to work correctly?

Since the accepted answer doesn't actually answer the question, I figured I'd post my solution to this. Add this to your .htaccess file to force HTTP instead of HTTPS:

# BEGIN Force HTTP
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 443
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://yourdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# END Force HTTP
