Admin servlet link not valid when configured orientdb for https

[karolmie1]

There is no auto-redirect, or direct link to https:// site when dropwizard is configured to run with https.
That of course causes ERR_INVALID_HTTP_RESPONSE.

It would be nice if this link changed automatically, depending on the configuration.

Could you please show me configuration example so I could better understand what you mean?

Ok, I've looked a lil bit closer.
If you use https for admin, then link will point to proper https orientdb address. The strange thing is that this address still is somehow "autoredirected" to http version. So, link shows https, but browser (FF, Chrome) on both Windows and Linux opens http version, and I still have to change address manually.

Even stranger: when I "copy link address", and paste it it goes to wrong url, but when I change url manually, and copy it again, then pasting it causes it to go to correct url.

But this is probably browser fault, and probably can't be fixed from here. In fact I'm gonna ask stackoverflow of this peculiar behavior.

Second scenario:
when orientdb is using https, while dropwizard is using http, link explicitly shows http version, but that's really uncommon configuration and I understand that it is not worth supporting.

Feel free to close.

I will try to reproduce.

It's more likely that orient (it's http server part) do redirects itself. Probably this is due to musconfiguration.. need to look closer.
Please add stackoverflow link here too for reference.

Finally, I have looked the code and experiment.

/orient/studio call leads to temporary redirect (302) response to studio url. There should not be any connection between dropwizard https usage and studio url as they are different servers with different configs:

dropwizard config	orient config	studio url
http	http	http
https	http	http
https	https	https
http	https	https

There is a problem now that /orient/studio is always redirected to http studio url (doesn't count possible orient https configuration), so the last two cases (from the table above) will lead to incorrect http studio url redirect. I will fix that.

I was not able to reproduce ERR_INVALID_HTTP_RESPONSE browser error in case of /orient/studio https call (dropwizard admin https) being redirected to http studio url. But I don't see any reason to see such error. Probably, in your case, something else leads to that error (proxy or special ports used). Also, you mention strange behaviour when browser show https url and actual url is http, which should be possible only if something in the middle handles 302 redirect instead of the browser.
