I have a simple express.js / React / vite app that is hosted on a digital ocean droplet.
Since it is mostly for studying/entertainment I didn't bother to buy a domain name and configure https. I was accessing the website directly through ip address (ex: 156.125.8.11:9999)Without any changes in code all internal requests are being upgraded to https now. I still see http url in index.html, but the network request is using https, that obviously fails because no SSL is configured.
This is the html file, inspected using devtools:
<html lang="en"><head><meta charset="UTF-8"><link rel="icon" type="image/svg+xml" href="/vite.svg"><meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"><title>Vite + React + TS</title><script type="module" crossorigin="" src="http://156.125.8.11:9999/assets/index-DDRGdzOp.js"></script><link rel="stylesheet" crossorigin="" href="http://156.125.8.11:9999/assets/index-n_ryQ3BS.css"></head><body><div id="root"></div></body></html>Yet, <script> and <link> are making https requests.
I have no special headers configured, vite config is fairly simple
export default defineConfig({ plugins: [react()],})Had all the browsers received some security update recenlty?
How to get things working on http as it was before?
