如何在 rspec 中测试 HTTPS 请求？

Question

Stackoverflow has a number of answers for this, but they all don't work. It seems like they're outdated. I've tried code like

get :index, protocol: :https

Answer 1

What your code snippet suggests it's a spec type: :request . The thing is - HTTP is not really involved in those kinds of tests.

What happens is, when you type get:index , a request object is being made, passed to rails, and response object is captured and you test against its state expect(response).to be_success

So you'd need to specify what exactly do you want to test:

• is your app redirecting to https:// if someone uses http://
• are your certificates correctly set up and your production app works with https:// protocol? (hint: this can't be testes in the spec tests really)
• something else?

SSL encryption should be transparent to your web app, are you having problems with that? Is your production app failing with HTTPS, and works properly with HTTP? (Feel free to compose a new question when you give it some thought)

Answer 2

If you're trying to simulate the behavior of your non-HTTPS app behind an HTTPS proxy, the easiest thing is to pass an HTTP header such as X-Forwarded-Proto :

get :index, headers: { 'X-Forwarded-Proto' => 'https' }

This will cause request.base_url to begin with 'https' , request.scheme to return 'https' , and request.ssl? to return true .
