Convert http to https using ruby

Question

I want to convert http to https URL in Ruby.

Let me explain how my method works:

• List I'm sending post request to server to insert data into db and getting response as http:devalphaserver.com/xxx/12.
• If we hit this url it returns some data. I want this response url should convert to https (https:devalphaserver.com/xxx/12) in Ruby to do the Get Operation.

The issue which I'm facing now is when I try to do get operation using http, I'm getting 302 Found stating that The document has moved https:devalphaserver.com/xxx/12 here.

Please help. Thanks!

Answer 1

url = "http:devalphaserver.com/xxx/12"
http_uri = URI(url)
https_uri = URI(http_uri.tap { |u| u.scheme = 'https' }.to_s)

Answer 2

Convert http to https using Ruby

url = "http:devalphaserver.com/xxx/12"
uri = URI.parse(url)
uri.scheme = "https"
uri.to_s
# => "https:devalphaserver.com/xxx/12"

However going through your question, I can see its a case of 302 redirect. If you are using gems like REST Client or HTTParty they have in place the mechanism of result handling that takes care of url redirect automatically.
