Hi everyone, I am trying to serve a http service on port 8080. but It only works when I go to `https://localhost:8080` but doesn't work when I go to `http://localhost:8080`. What I want is to forward the http traffic that comes in to 8080 to https protocol. So that when I visit `http://localhost:8080`, It would still get a response. Here's a minimal code of what I'm trying to do - ```yaml services: traefik: command: - "--providers.docker" - "--entrypoints.customweb.address=:8080" - "--log.level=DEBUG" depends_on: - whoami image: traefik:v2.11 ports: - mode: host published: 8080 target: 8080 volumes: - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock whoami: image: traefik/whoami labels: - traefik.http.routers.whoami.entrypoints=customweb - traefik.http.routers.whoami.rule=Host(`localhost`) - traefik.http.routers.whoami.tls=true - traefik.http.routers.whoami.service=whoami - traefik.http.services.whoami.loadbalancer.server.port=80 ``` ---

That should simply work with RedirectScheme midleware ([doc](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/middlewares/http/redirectscheme/)). ---

Redirect middleware seem not to work. It's redirecting `https://localhost:8080` to `https://localhost:443` ```yaml services: traefik: command: - --providers.docker - --entrypoints.customweb.address=:8080 - --log.level=DEBUG depends_on: - whoami image: traefik:v2.11 ports: - mode: host published: 8080 target: 8080 volumes: - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock whoami: image: traefik/whoami labels: - traefik.http.routers.whoami.entrypoints=customweb - traefik.http.routers.whoami.rule=Host(`localhost`) - traefik.http.routers.whoami.tls=true - traefik.http.routers.whoami.service=whoami - traefik.http.services.whoami.loadbalancer.server.port=80 - traefik.http.middlewares.redirect-mw.redirectscheme.scheme=https - traefik.http.middlewares.redirect-mw.redirectscheme.permanent=true - traefik.http.routers.whoami.middlewares=redirect-mw ``` ---

The documentation is your friend: > **`port`** > The `port` option defines the port of the new URL. ---

I added the port but that didn't work either. I still get - ```bash curl -Lk http://localhost:8080 404 page not found ``` ```yaml services: traefik: command: - --providers.docker - --entrypoints.customweb.address=:8080 - --log.level=DEBUG depends_on: - whoami image: traefik:v2.11 ports: - mode: host published: 8080 target: 8080 volumes: - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock whoami: image: traefik/whoami labels: - traefik.http.routers.whoami.entrypoints=customweb - traefik.http.routers.whoami.rule=Host(`localhost`) - traefik.http.routers.whoami.tls=true - traefik.http.routers.whoami.service=whoami - traefik.http.services.whoami.loadbalancer.server.port=80 - traefik.http.middlewares.redirect-mw.redirectscheme.scheme=https - traefik.http.middlewares.redirect-mw.redirectscheme.permanent=true - traefik.http.middlewares.redirect-mw.redirectscheme.port=8080 - traefik.http.routers.whoami.middlewares=redirect-mw ``` ---

Ok, maybe it doesn't work anymore. It works with `http` when you remove `tls`. I know that people where complaining that you could do a `http` connection even though `tls` was enabled. Here we go ([doc](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/routing/routers/#general)): > When a TLS section is specified, it instructs Traefik that the current router is dedicated to HTTPS requests only (and that the router should ignore HTTP (non TLS) requests). ---

Yes, I also reached similar conclusion, maybe it doesn't work. I tried a lot and finally ended up in forum as last resort! 🙂 Thank you!
