JQuery.ajax not using HTTPS
Solution 1
Ok. I messed with this for over 4 hours and as soon as I added a slash to the end of the URL, the issue went away and everything works fine. I have no idea why. The web server/web service does not require a slash to function correctly but for whatever reason, that's what "fixed" it. Thanks for the helpful comments guys.

I was also very upset regarding the same problem. I was sending the ajax request from my ssl page as follows:
$protocol = (!empty($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && $_SERVER['HTTPS'] !== 'off' ||
$_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] == 443) ? "https://" : "http://";
<script type="text/javascript">
$.ajax({
url: "<?php echo $protocol.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$this->url(array("action"=>"autocomplete", "controller"=>"ajax", "module"=>"default"));?>",
data: { term: $("#keyword").val()},
dataType: "json",
type: "POST",
success: function(data){
response(data);
}
});
</script>
The problem was that, request header shows that the referer page is an ssl page but the response header shows the location an "http" page as in above Rob's code printscreen.
I came to know that each and every time when you make an ajax request from an ssl page response came to the same page i.e. for ssl page and when you make the ajax request from non-ssl page by the response will came for the same i.e. non-ssl page. This is the default rule for ajax request and response.
I think, definitely there must be a problem from my code side which force to make response from http while sending from https. Exactally, my suspicion was right. Actually there was a default code which force to redirect to response to http page instead of https. I am sharing the previous code:
class Custom_Customplugins extends Zend_Controller_Plugin_Abstract
{
public function preDispatch(Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract $request)
{
$action = $request->getActionName();
$controller = $request->getControllerName();
$module = $request->getModuleName();
$protocol = (!empty($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && $_SERVER['HTTPS'] !== 'off' || $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] == 443) ? "https://" : "http://";
$host = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
if($host != "www.xyz.com")
{
if($protocol == "http://")
{
}
}
else
{
$r = new Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_Redirector();
$u = new Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_Url();
if(
($action == "index" && $controller == "index" && $module == "default")
|| ($action == "login" && $controller == "index" && $module == "default")
|| ($action == "businessownerregistration" && $controller == "index" && $module == "default")
|| ($action == "customerregistration" && $controller == "index" && $module == "default")
|| ($action == "index" && $controller == "changepwd" && $module == "admin")
|| ($action == "index" && $controller == "businessowner" && $module == "businessowner")
|| ($action == "changepwd" && $controller == "serviceprovider" && $module == "businessowner")
|| ($action == "index" && $controller == "customer" && $module == "default")
)
{
if($protocol == "http://")
{
$r->gotoUrl('https://'.$host.$u->url(array("action"=>$action, "controller"=>$controller, "module"=>$module)))->redirectAndExit();
}
}
else
{
if($protocol == "https://")
{
$r->gotoUrl('http://'.$host.$u->url(array("action"=>$action, "controller"=>$controller, "module"=>$module)))->redirectAndExit();
}
}
}
}
}
After correction the code is:
<?php
class Custom_Customplugins extends Zend_Controller_Plugin_Abstract
{
public function preDispatch(Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract $request)
{
$action = $request->getActionName();
$controller = $request->getControllerName();
$module = $request->getModuleName();
$protocol = (!empty($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && $_SERVER['HTTPS'] !== 'off' || $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] == 443) ? "https://" : "http://";
$host = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
if($host != "www.xyz.com")
{
if($protocol == "http://")
{
}
}
else
{
$r = new Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_Redirector();
$u = new Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_Url();
if(
($action == "index" && $controller == "index" && $module == "default")
|| ($action == "login" && $controller == "index" && $module == "default")
|| ($action == "businessownerregistration" && $controller == "index" && $module == "default")
|| ($action == "customerregistration" && $controller == "index" && $module == "default")
|| ($action == "index" && $controller == "changepwd" && $module == "admin")
|| ($action == "index" && $controller == "businessowner" && $module == "businessowner")
|| ($action == "changepwd" && $controller == "serviceprovider" && $module == "businessowner")
|| ($action == "index" && $controller == "customer" && $module == "default")
)
{
if($protocol == "http://")
{
$r->gotoUrl('https://'.$host.$u->url(array("action"=>$action, "controller"=>$controller, "module"=>$module)))->redirectAndExit();
}
}
else if(
($action == "autocomplete" && $controller == "ajax" && $module == "default")
|| ($action == "refreshcaptcha" && $controller == "index" && $module == "default")
)
{
}
else
{
if($protocol == "https://")
{
$r->gotoUrl('http://'.$host.$u->url(array("action"=>$action, "controller"=>$controller, "module"=>$module)))->redirectAndExit();
}
}
}
}
}
?>
and now, my https page is working fine

Rob almost 2 years
So, I am calling a web service from jQuery using the .ajax method. The page that is calling the method is an HTTPS/SSL page, yet when the call is made, jQuery keeps making an HTTP request and it is failing because the server is set up to redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS...so a 301 error is coming back.
I have inspected my code a million times and tried a million ways to generate the url parameter for the ajax query. (using // for relative and now just appending the protocol https to the beginning of the url. Here is my javascript:
function add_inbound_record(serial_number, pass_fail_value) { pfv = pass_fail_value.toUpperCase(); url = location.protocol + "//" + location.hostname + "/inbound/record- inspection/" + serial_number + "/" + pfv; $.ajax({ url:url, cache:false, }); }
So, when this code executes, I check the url paramter in firebug and it shows up correctly with https and the URL properly formed. However, when I execute the ajax function I see this in firebug:
301 MOVED PERMANENTLY 192.168.1.9 20 B 192.168.1.9:443 Response Headersview source Connection keep-alive Content-Encoding gzip Content-Length 20 Content-Type text/html; charset=utf-8 Date Wed, 24 Oct 2012 17:33:34 GMT Location http://192.168.1.9/inbound/record-inspection/011234567890123421000000002995/P/?_=1351100020609 Server nginx/1.1.19 Vary Accept-Encoding Request Headersview source Accept */* Accept-Encoding gzip, deflate Accept-Language en-us,en;q=0.5 Connection keep-alive Cookie djdt=hide; csrftoken=sF9RUxrlS6IKURxOryH2d2yT05gMighn; sessionid=9682390da4011e445931643c81be9aae Host 192.168.1.9 Referer https://192.168.1.9/fingerprint/inspect/ User-Agent Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.8; rv:15.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/15.0.1 X-Requested-With XMLHttpRequest
As you can see above from the referrer, the protocol is HTTPS yet the location in the response header is HTTP? I can't for the life of me figure out why the request is going across the wire as HTTP and not HTTPS. The 301 response is accurate considering it is going as HTTP since, again, the webserver is configured to only allow HTTPS access. Any ideas?

sparknoob over 10 yearsI had the same bug, and there seems to be no documentation why this happens. Thank you so much, I spent way too long on this.

Alien Life Form about 7 yearsYou mean a forward slash like / or a backslash like \ ?
-
Mitchell van Zuylen over 6 yearsI had the same issue. Adding `` to the url made it work. Without the slash, it would send an http request instead of the desired https.

Anand Shukla over 4 yearsHi . I am also getting same kind of issue but I have query string in the request url. How can I add a slash in the end. Can anyone please let me know

Dale Kube over 3 yearsThis worked for me. I added the forward slash "/" at the end of the url. I am working with a Gunicorn web server setup in a kubernetes environment

Gabriel I. over 2 yearsWhile this may be helpful for some users, this answer still doesn't point out the root cause of this bug (as I'm currently having it as well). Any pointers on this would be greatly appreciated.
