HTTP forwarding PLAINTEXT warning

Question

When I run this SSL test: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=rickschmitz.network

I get the following warning :

HTTP forwarding http://www.rickschmitz.network PLAINTEXT

What does this mean and how can I fix this?

Answer 1

This means that when requesting in HTTPS the response is a redirection to an HTTP URL (http://www.rickschmitz.network as given by SSLLabs). The browser is supposed to warn you when you are leaving the "secure" browsing. To fix it, check your Apache configuration at the SSL virtual host (should be in conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf)
