Hi, I am new in Liferay. I have problem. All urls that contain http are changed to https. It makes me problem during generate .xls file. I have some item that contains atribute filled by url value http://somePage. I created HSSFWorkbook workbook, filled cell in sheet by http://somePage and after create .xls, the file is broken and contains https://somePage. When I am on localhost, url is not changed and contains http. When I am on my https:// page and I want generate .xls file, http is in file automaticaly changed to https. Even in database I have http, but in my forms on page I see https:// urls. Any advice how to turn off rewriting urls or any reason how it is possible? Thank you
As Liferay doesn't generate anything, the generation process for your workbook is entirely custom code. It's up to you what you write in that file.
If you somehow obtain Liferay's base URL (e.g., I believe, through PortalUtil), you might end up with the https url - but it's still up to you to generate whatever you want into the file.
Typically, if you access the page through https, that's the URL and scheme that'll be used.
Notice that your system administration might set up HSTS, a flag that signals the browser that a webserver
never again (for a certain period, e.g. 1 year) wants to be contacted in
anything but https. If that's in the game for a given server, you won't have a chance to access that host name through http. And it might even come from the main domain, not from the subdomain that you're using.
Also, it's 2020, and I'd assume that all URLs are https anyway, and http is more or less only used to redirect the accidental and missed URL when a sysadmin forgot to configure HSTS. Make sure you answer on https, don't work on trying to make http work in 2020.
