Browser http request is redirected to https

[tatianafrank]

I have a webpage on localhost trying to make an http request to my kafka-rest-proxy instance running on another server that doesnt have https but the request URL gets changed to https and fails with a network error. When I type the url directly into the browser, there's no issue-- the URL is not redirected to https. Is there some header or setting that needs to be added in the properties file?

This doesn't sound something like kafka-rest-proxy would be doing. It knows about what IP addresses and what protocol to use though the listeners configuration, and it knows about what hostname to use when generating absolute URLs through the host.name configuration.

If listeners doesn't include an https URL then it won't be doing any redirects.
