UrlResolver.GetUrl returns http links from ContentReference instead of https making page not secure.

Vote:
 

Has anyone came across this issue where the function UrlResolver.GetUrl returns absolute URL with http links from ContentReference instead of https. This causes google to mark our site as not completely secure. This is happeninig only in live site and in all other environments this is working fine and creates only https links.

UrlResolver.GetUrl will get the host from the SiteDefinition, so if you set up your site to be http, it will use it. Simply change the setting here

Thanks for the reply. But this is already set as https including all other host names. This was working fine and all of a sudden this issue occured. When we restarted the web app and cache it worked fine and showed https links, but after couple of minutes it reverted back to http for links generated. This is happeninig for all links generated using UrlResolver.GetUrl. Quite strange I know.

Then I suggest to contact developer support service. this seems to be a complicated issue and that would be your best bet to get it resolved

Have you specified any scheme in the host settings? 

In my example website; I did not specify any scheme in host settings.

Now when I access URL with https all links use with https binding. 

when I access URL with http all links use with http binding.

It could be G crawler or indexer is accessing your website in http.

I think you just need to check if your production website is accessible from HTTP. If yes, you can change to allow https binding only. 

You can do that by creating a rule in web.config or ask Episerver to enable force https rule from cloudflare.

Thanks for the reply. Already there is a redirect rule that will redirect all http requests to https requests. Site cant be access over http, but only https. The problem here is links created for mega menu and forms are in http format which makes the site non secure. Host settings are all having https scheme.
