Solr admin not acessible on HTTPS

The Issue

If you follow the instructions to open the Solr Admin via HTTP (http://.ddev.site:8983/solr/) you are redirect automatically to HTTPS and that doesn't work.

I imagine you're using Firefox and it's redirecting. Unfortunately the Solr web UI doesn't really work right with https, which is why it's not added here.

[introfini]

Yes, I'm using Firefox. The web ui is working fine with me. But I haven't tested everything.

Thanks.

Yeah, try it with Chrome or other things that redirect. I don't know why it misbehaves, but this has been tried several times before. You can turn off that behavior in Firefox, please document how to do it here. Maybe a PR to the README explaining what's going on.

Is there a specific problem with solr dashboard on HTTPS? Or is it just flaky?

I was able to get it working by updating docker-compose.solr.yaml on Chrome:

      - HTTP_EXPOSE=8983:8983
+     - HTTPS_EXPOSE=8984:8983

The reason that solr has not provided HTTPS in the past is that it always inappropriately redirected and was basically broken, at least on some browsers. What browser are you using? It's possible that Solr itself has solved this problem.

I think the issue is that the Solr UI didn't look at the x-forwarded-proto, so assumed it was talking http, and messed up there.

I'm OK with this if the problem has gone away, but it was persistent for years, so needs wide testing on a variety of OSs and browsers, and will need changes to the automated tests.
