POST Request Problems When Not Redirecting HTTP to HTTPS

UaMV

When following the instruction here to set config URL to

'url' => '//' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'],

the reset password email is sent through containing an invalid URL (i.e. missing http: or https?. Can anyone confirm this issue? Thanks!

@Davis You mentioned on Github that this is due to a misconfiguration on my end. Does that mean then that the solution offered by @luceos is more of a hack than a fix? Any insight as to what would be the root cause of the issue? Thanks!

Yes. You need to set your config.php with a single url. Example: "https://www.example.com"

If you have any other domains pointing to the forums, you need to redirect those domains the one you decide to put in the config.php. This is the proper way of doing it.

Thanks for helping me sort this! I did originally have a single URL in the config.php, but was having POST problems. Finding that hack seemed to solve things (excepting the new issues I began to encounter). Turns out that my problems resulted not from having multiple domains pointing to the forum, but from not rewriting http: to https:. I reset my config.php URL to the full https: address and added the following code to my .htaccess. Now I should be running properly.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
