OVH redirections

Ticket #0001 - Redirection not handling HTTPS

Bug

Some domains are https only - the browser only use https for these domains¹. Thus, redirections are not working with these domains

What should happen

Redirections should work with all domains

How to reproduce

• Have a httpS only domains like .dev
• Setup a “ovh redirection”
• OVH will create a A DNS entry linked to 213.186.33.5 (redirect.ovh.net) under the hood
• Try to use the redirection

  • Using curl²:

    curl http://subdomain.domain.dev # -> works because http
    curl https://subdomain.domain.dev # -> DONT works because https
    

  • Using browser:

    not working because the browser forces us to use HTTPS
