In case this is useful to others with the same problem...  
Did you checked whether the `Force Secure Redirect` setting was set True.  
If you restored a gateway backup from another server the SSL certs supporting SSL / TLS on that server would not have migrated with the Ignition backup and you might be in the situation where SSL /TLS is not enabled and `Force Secure Redirect` setting is locked as True, with the ability to change it greyed out in the gateway UI.  
If that is the case you may need to edit gaterway.xml directly changing  
`<entry key="gateway.forceSecureRedirect">true</entry>`  
to  
`<entry key="gateway.forceSecureRedirect">false</entry>`
