Why is https being forced locally?

Question

I recently added in a simple config.force_ssl to my production.rb after obtaining a certificate. Added nothing to development.rb.

I pushed this up to production, and tried running locally, but now https is being forced on localhost:3000.

So I first tried modifying config.force_ssl to config.force_ssl = true unless Rails.env.development?. Keep in mind, this line only exists within production.rb. Still being forced.

Then I tried commenting the line out completely. Still being forced.

I restarted the server each time.

I'm starting the server with foreman. My procfile is:

web: rails s -p 3000
client: sh -c 'rm app/assets/webpack/* || true && cd client && bundle exec rake react_on_rails:locale && yarn run build:development'

Was something cached the first time I did this?

Is the client portion of my Procfile doing something?

Answer 1

This is due to your browser cache, try cleaning your cache and App data or use different browser.

If once your localhost is in https, then it will still use https unless browser cache and data removed.

You can also change port where rails application is running.
