I am running:
python manage.py runserver localhost:44100
And this is redirecting me to https:
» http http://localhost:44100/
HTTP/1.0 301 Moved Permanently
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Date: Mon, 05 Mar 2018 14:09:09 GMT
Location: https://localhost:44100/
Server: WSGIServer/0.1 Python/2.7.14
X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN
Why / how is this happening? What setting does control whether Django accepts http / https?
My best guess is that in the settings.py file of your project you have set
SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT = True
which causes your http to redirect to https. You can read about it here.
If that is the case, you might want to remove that line and clear your browser cache before it starts to work as intended.
Use python manage.py runssslserver to handle SSL and https.
You have to install django-sslserver first and set it in
INSTALLED_APPS = [
'sslserver',
]
