And the .httaccess code is:

RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymLinks

#
# HTTPS Redirect

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.atlantotec\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.atlantotec.com/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

RewriteRule ^(.*)=it$ http://www.atlantotec.com/it/$1 [R,NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)=de$ http://www.atlantotec.com/de/$1 [R,NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)=en$ http://www.atlantotec.com/en/$1 [R,NC]

What I want to do is to share http link and to show the shares from http link, in this moment I can share the http link, but I see the https shares.

In Facebook Object Debugger you can see if I check the http link I see the https shares, if I check the https link I see the http shares.

I deleted already the canonical tag but doesn't work if you think that is an option.

So how to share http and see http shares not https?

I just checked your website, and the main issue with your website is that you are redirecting from http to https, but, the og:url is set to the http:// version. Check the HTML code and you will see this:

<meta property="og:url" content="http://www.[yourdomain].com"/>

This is confusing Facebook, you should have the og:url as http when you are in http mode, and as https whe you are in https mode.

PS: I still see this in the code...

<link href="/de/" rel="canonical" />

...but I don't think it's harmful.

My website is only in https mode now. And I want to share the http mode and show the http mode on the website. I want facebook to see me only as http mode. – focusoft Dec 08 '15 at 08:14

@focusoft: If your site is redirecting everything to HTTPS automatically, but you want Facebook to use the HTTP version of your URLs – then you must not automatically redirect to HTTPS, when the FB scraper requests them, but let it read the necessary meta data from the HTTP URL. The FB Scaper [can be identified by its User Agent](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/faqs#scraperinfo) – so add an exception to your HTTP->HTTPS rewriting based on that. – CBroe Dec 08 '15 at 10:14

@CBroe you mean to add a rule in .httaccess ? – focusoft Dec 08 '15 at 10:26

If your redirect is configured in there, then yes. – CBroe Dec 08 '15 at 10:55

I will try and I will let you know if it's working. I edit the question and I will add the actual .httaccess code too. – focusoft Dec 08 '15 at 12:00
@CBroe I added a exception for facebook scraper but still not working. – focusoft Dec 08 '15 at 12:34
Right now, the debug tool says it can’t read your URL at all. Looks like your site is doing an automatic redirect back to itself, this happens in the browser as well. Usually people use to that to set a cookie on the first request, and then have that cookie available when the same URL is requested again because of the redirect – and that can of course fail, if the client does not support cookies. – CBroe Dec 08 '15 at 13:03
