[FEAT] Document issue and solution accessing http-urls with HTTPS-Only Mode enabled in Firefox

Closed this issue · 3 comments

Description
After enabling HTTPS-Only Mode in Firefox I ran into an issue connecting to clusters that are only accessible via http. According to the console Firefox tried to upgrade those URLs to https and failed. I first added the cluster URLs to the HTTPS-Only exceptions but that didn't work. However, adding the moz-extension-url to those exceptions did resolve the issue.

I suggest to document this somewhere in the wiki (e.g. in the FAQ).

Had the same problem here, this did the trick ! Thanks !

Well, if you force everything to be https... everything will be https, including access to your cluster^^ The best way would be to actually use https for cluster access, but i guess this also works.

I agree with your comment :) In our case it was our graylog ES, which is a standalone one running on localhost, until I asked myself "what's in this big index". So I looked for a phpmyadmin/adminer for ES, found your great piece... And just opened the ES to the network. That's where the https trouble began ;-) I'll look at adding SSL support to ES.

Thanks for this software !
