How to stop http redirection to https

I'm setting up a test environment that does not support https. The problem is, http://localhost/simulator.aspx#!/data keeps redirecting to https://localhost/simulator.aspx#!/data.I have tried the following steps:

1. going to chrome://net-internals/#hstsand deleting localhost and 127.0.0.1
2. Empty Cache and Hard Reload (https://galaxyinternet.us/google-chrome-redirects-localhost-to-https-fix/)
3. removing cached images and files in chrome://settings/clearBrowserData
4. nuking C:/Users/Appdata/local/Google/Chrome
5. Checking the disable cache in Chrome developer tools> network tab.
6. going to task manager and killing the Chrome process to restart.

This didn't change anything, so I tried it in an incognito window. That didn't work either.Any ideas?
