PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE:

Onyx 17.5, latest MU, many OS​

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:

In previous Plesk version, opening the panel login page on a non-SSL connection auto-redirected to an SSL encrypted connection. From Plesk Onyx 17.5 on, this does no longer work. See thred Issue - Plesk Panel 17.5 | 400 Bad Request The plain HTTP request was sent to HTTPS port for more details.​

hostname:8443
without a preceding https://, for example type
http://hostname:8443​

ACTUAL RESULT:

Nginx delivers a 400 error "The plain HTTP request was sent to HTTPS port".​

EXPECTED RESULT:

Nginx should follow the " error_page 497 https://$hostname:$server_port$request_uri;" directive in /etc/sw-cp-server/config and redirect the non-SSL request to SSL.​

What about the work around we did? Should it be removed before updating?

 

[Bitpalast]

I think you can leave things as they are. If the update changes the file - good. If it does not change it - good, too.

 

[Kingsley]

alright
