HTTP url redirects as HTTPS on selenium test run

When I pass an URL to load a website, say, http://yoururl.com, it redirects to https://yoururl.com

I mean, passing an URL with HTTP automatically redirects as https://yoururl.com in the browser URL.

@driver.get("http://yoururl.com")

Browser used: Chrome

Is there a way to stop redirecting the HTTP url as HTTPS?

Solution

  • The Chrome 63 and above versions will no longer take HTTP with domain .dev since you are in the local/dev environment.

    Chrome 63 (out since December 2017), will force all domains ending on .dev (and .foo) to be redirected to HTTPS via a preloaded HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) header https://ma.ttias.be/chrome-force-dev-domains-https-via-preloaded-hsts/
