Mixed content - Request from an insecure resource

https wkhtmltopdf

Paulo Costa

Hello guys,

When I try to print some document the odoo tries to generate the PDF using the Wkhtmltopdf. But right after I get this error:

Mixed Content: The page at 'https://' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure resource 'http://'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.

I've configure the nginx webserver to use SSL with Let's Encrypt certificate. Everything looks fine, until I get this request over http instead of https. Why this is happening? How should I fix this?

I have already tried to update the web.base.url to https:// instead of http:// and I've also created the paramenter web.base.url.freeze and assigned to True. But that did not fix this issue. I still get that request from http.

Thank you.

Hi,

It may come up due to missing the following, you can check:

in your Nginx probably in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/some_file , please check X-Forwarded headers are present as below

location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8069;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_request_buffering off;
proxy_connect_timeout  36000s;
proxy_read_timeout  36000s;
proxy_send_timeout  36000s;
send_timeout  36000s;
client_max_body_size 10240m;
}

or in nginx conf,
proxy_redirect http://yourdomainhere/ https://yourdomainhere/;

or in odoo conf,
proxy_mode = True

Restart nginx, restart odoo serivces and check hopefully it will work now.

You can also check Settings -> Technical -> System Parameters, and make sure your web.base.url contains https:// (some people also add web.base.url.freeze set to True

I hope it would help someone.

This worked perfectly in my case, thank you very much Hamzah

Adding the below line to my nginx config file fixed the issue:

add_header'Content-Security-Policy''upgrade-insecure-requests';

After all it looks like this solution worked:

I have already tried to update the web.base.url to https:// instead of http:// and I've also created the paramenter web.base.url.freeze and assigned to True.

Thank you.

Hello there, I am facing this problem as well when switching to non-english languages.

Is it working by your solution?

Not sure, to be honest.

In the past I believe I was using a non-english language as well. So I believe it should work.

Right now both my Odoo solutions are managed by a service provider.
