kong-http-to-https-redirect

301 redirect from http to https

Installation

To use, allow kong to access route on both https and http. Only allowing http results in kong responding before ever hitting the access method in the lifecycle of the request.

Then run:

luarocks install *.rockspec

Then in the kong.yml add

custom_plugins:
  - kong-http-to-https-redirect

Run kong reload or start and add the plugin as normal.

Docker installation

We recommend using kong-docker by dojot. Copy this repo into the plugins directory of that project and build a custom docker image.

Info

This plugins priority is set to 1500. So it is handled after ip-restriction, bot-detection, cors - but before jwt and other authentication plugins (see last paragraph in Kongo Plugin Documentation - Custom Logic).

Configuration

• exclude_uri_pattern: When this value is empty, then a redirect is done in every HTTP (not HTTPS) request. When it is set, then the redirect to https is only done when the called URI doesn't match to the Lua pattern in exclude_uri_pattern.

Raise an issue if there's anything more you'd like to see.

Misc

Thanks to the creator of https://github.com/jicong/kong-aliyun-http-filter off of which this plugin was created.
