Disable https for specific api routes?

I have an API which a very old game is trying to send data to. This old application (circa 2004) cannot handle HTTPS. It must use HTTP. Is there a way to configure my wrangler.toml to specify specific routes for my Pages project to use HTTP instead of HTTPS?

You could have your Worker redirect based on the protocol?

RegisterOP•10mo ago

Hmmm. Im still a little bit new to the terminology. I thought I was using "Pages" and I thought "Workers" were something else? Or are "Pages" a super set of "Workers" in a way?

RegisterOP•10mo ago

@HardlyWorkin' I have also created a Page Rule (after reading some SO post) Do you think this is the right direction?

After I did this, I get this:

in my "Pages" project, I have this file: /functions/api/submit.ts

import EventContext from "@/EventContext";

export async function onRequestGet(ctx: EventContext) {
  console.log("submit get");
  return Response.json({result: "submit get"});
}

export async function onRequestPost(ctx: EventContext) {
  console.log("submit post");
  return Response.json({result: "submit post"});
}

import EventContext from "@/EventContext";

export async function onRequestGet(ctx: EventContext) {
  console.log("submit get");
  return Response.json({result: "submit get"});
}

export async function onRequestPost(ctx: EventContext) {
  console.log("submit post");
  return Response.json({result: "submit post"});
}

Since I am working with Pages I assumed I'd use Page rules?

Hello, I’m Allie!•10mo ago

No, Page Rules are something else, and are no longer recommended for use Pages and Workers are two separate products, but they do share some commonalities. You cannot configure your Pages Project with wrangler.toml for deployment

RegisterOP•10mo ago

Alright - are you suggesting I move my API logic from my Pages project and into its own "Worker"?

Hello, I’m Allie!•10mo ago

No, you can keep it in Pages. In fact, this shouldn't require any changes to configuration.

RegisterOP•10mo ago

Thanks! Still unclear on how to use HTTP though. Do I need to configure a worker rule? Confused about this because I am using Pages - so the naming is confusing me

RegisterOP•10mo ago

This is my project repo. I have my functions directory which contains my API and my site directory which is my static website which Pages automatically deploys for me when I push to my repo. (Lovely btw)

So from my perspective, I am using "Pages" and I have "Functions" inside my Pages project

so what am I supposed to do to get this /api/submit route working with HTTP?

Hello, I’m Allie!•10mo ago

Do you only want it to apply to /api/submit, or to the entirety of /api?

RegisterOP•10mo ago

only /api/submit it's the only route in my API that needs HTTP I need to be able to POST to it

Hello, I’m Allie!•10mo ago

Wild guess but this might work? Don't remember if you can use a specific route with next()...

functions_api_submit...

Hello, I’m Allie!•10mo ago

The indentation is completely screwed, sorry

RegisterOP•10mo ago

np, I have prettier Hmm looks like your OnRequest is just checking if its https and redirecting to http. I was under the impression that Cloudflare upgraded to HTTPS before the function is hit? but tbh I didnt confirm that :o well I removed the rule to check if I could just use http normally (without your suggested code first) And it looks like it's forcing me to use https by itself ill apply your suggestion now and see @HardlyWorkin' I applied your suggestion and it's not working. I should note that my domain is hosted by Cloudflare I think theres an HTTPS upgrade happening between the initial request and the function being executed but I dont know where exactly or what to do about it

RegisterOP•10mo ago

Could it be something here? _redirects?

https://community.cloudflare.com/t/cf-pages-always-to-https-but-i-need-to-use-http/440707 This post suggests it cant be done? https://community.cloudflare.com/t/cloudflare-pages-disable-https/304683

Walshy•10mo ago

pages doesn't handle http/https

Hello, I’m Allie!•10mo ago

Doesn't the pages.dev zone force HTTPS?

Walshy•10mo ago

the dev tld forces https

Hello, I’m Allie!•10mo ago

Or the auto upgrade

Walshy•10mo ago

but custom domains should take priority

Hello, I’m Allie!•10mo ago

Are you on a custom domain?

RegisterOP•10mo ago

Yes

I have a CNAME record redirecting to my pages projects dev url ...not sure if that's proper or not but it's allowing me to access my website with the subdomain I want to use

Go to https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/:zone/ssl-tls/edge-certificates, and see if Always Use HTTPS is set to On

RegisterOP•10mo ago

RegisterOP•10mo ago

Is this it?

Hello, I’m Allie!•10mo ago

No, it is in SSL/TLS -> Edge Certificates

RegisterOP•10mo ago

Ah yes I found it. It is on. I do want HTTPS for all my routes except for /api/submit - What will I need to do to ensure HTTPS is forced on the other routes now if I disable this?

Whats the difference between: Always Use HTTPS and Automatic HTTPS Rewrites ?

RegisterOP•10mo ago

No description

Hello, I’m Allie!•10mo ago

Create a new Configuration Rule here. Set the incoming request match to URL Path equals /api/submit, then set the SSL/TLS mode to Off Wait Always use HTTPS redirects HTTP requests to HTTPS. Automaitc HTTPS Rewrites converts all assets on a page to use HTTPS

RegisterOP•10mo ago

Just double checking - I should disable them both?

Hello, I’m Allie!•10mo ago

Use a Configuration Rule instead, so that it only affects /api/submit

RegisterOP•10mo ago

Ah so I should not touch "Always use HTTPS" or "Automatic HTTPS Rewrites" and I should only create a new configuration rule that matches my /api/submit URI?

Hello, I’m Allie!•10mo ago

Yes, that should make it so it only applies to that one route. If you set SSL/TLS mode to Off, then it should work? Though, it may actually cause it to bork itself because it redirects but doesn't support HTTPS...

RegisterOP•10mo ago

hmmm i think its still redirecting

Do you have cache disabled? 301s are usually cached a while

RegisterOP•10mo ago

No description

RegisterOP•10mo ago

Yes I have it disabled :)

Hello, I’m Allie!•10mo ago

That will only match if you are already using HTTP

RegisterOP•10mo ago

should I make it say https? and yes the (very old) game is explicitly using HTTP

Hello, I’m Allie!•10mo ago

No, just filter by URI path

RegisterOP•10mo ago

what if I have other subdomains though? I wanted to explicitly use the bldb.***.com subdomain I dont want this rule to trigger for www.***.com

Hello, I’m Allie!•10mo ago

What is it redirecting to?

RegisterOP•10mo ago

back to https://bldb... which redirects back to http://bldb... etc

Hm, ok...

@HardlyWorkin' any updates? Kinda dead in the water at the moment :s

Hello, I’m Allie!•10mo ago

Sorry, not sure. The only surefire way to fix it is probably to disable HTTPS redirects, and then make a separate redirect rule to add it back everywhere except /api/submit

RegisterOP•10mo ago

Shoot. Thanks for trying
