Redirecting when using https

[sandrocsimas]

When i send a request to https://www.closic.com/pt?_escaped_fragment_= the server is redirecting to "/pt".

Why this is happening? The log in closic-web shows that /pt?escaped_fragment= are redirecting but i'm not finding the code that redirects. Can be a prerender-node middleware bug?

When i run locally without https its working fine.
I added www.closic.com in /etc/hosts and configured nginx locally too.

This is my nginx configuration:

server {
  listen      80;
  server_name closic.com;
  return      301 https://www.closic.com$request_uri;
}

server {
  listen      80;
  server_name ~^(?<subdomain>.+)\.closic\.com$;
  return      301 https://$subdomain.closic.com$request_uri;
}

server {
  listen      443 ssl;
  server_name www.closic.com;
  ssl_certificate     /usr/local/nginx/ssl/www.closic.com/server.chained.crt;
  ssl_certificate_key /usr/local/nginx/ssl/www.closic.com/server.key;

  location / {
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
    proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
    proxy_pass       http://127.0.0.1:4000;
    proxy_redirect   off;
  }
}

server {
  listen      443 ssl;
  server_name api.closic.com;
  ssl_certificate     /usr/local/nginx/ssl/api.closic.com/server.chained.crt;
  ssl_certificate_key /usr/local/nginx/ssl/api.closic.com/server.key;

  location / {
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
    proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
    proxy_pass       http://127.0.0.1:3000;
    proxy_redirect   off;
  }
}

server {
  listen      3101 ssl;
  server_name api.closic.com;
  ssl_certificate     /usr/local/nginx/ssl/api.closic.com/server.chained.crt;

}

It seems that prerender is requesting the server using http.

prerender-5 2016-01-04T01:51:54.111Z getting http://www.closic.com/pt

Nginx redirects this url to https url.
How to tell prerender to request the https url?

[thoop]

Wherever you are sending the request to Prerender.io, you'll want to set the protocol to https. It sounds like you might be doing SSL termination in front of your server so that's why you're sending Prerender.io a request to an http URL.

OK @thoop, the problem was the proxy_pass to http://127.0.0.1:4000. I solved changing the node server running on 4000 to use https. Thanks!
