Base URL showing http instead of https when SSL is enabled

[Avinash Kumar Sahu]

Hi, I am running the RestExpress in SSL mode using

server.setSSLContext(context);




Everything is working fine except that when Making https requests, the base URL shows http

Example:
$ curl -k https://localhost:8080
"Unresolvable URL: http://localhost:8080/"

The response is correct but URL returned in the message is http instead of https. Any quick fix to get around this ?

Hmm... that base URL essentially boils down to a call of Request.getProtocol() which looks like this:

/**
	* Get the protocol of the request.
	*
	* @return "http" or "https," etc. lower-case.
	*/
	public String getProtocol()
	{
	return httpRequest.protocolVersion().protocolName().toLowerCase();
	}

And depends on Netty's FullHttpRequest. I expect RestExpress is not utilizing it correctly, but protocolName() probably always returns HTTP. The workaround would be to override Request.getProtocol() or fix that method...
