HTTP to HTTPS redirect causes ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS on ngrok

ivanhalen

Hello,
I activated HTTPS on Laragon, redirecting automatically all HTTP requests to HTTPS through .htaccess:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

Everything is fine except when I use ngrok, because I get an ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS error.
I tried with some sites (Laravel, Wordpress, custom ones) but I always end with that error...

I can remove the .htaccess rule, temporarily, but is there a more pleasant solution? Thanks

Still not fixed in most recent versions of Laragon (4.0.15 190704) + ngrok (2.3.34) but managed to use a temporary hack just for shared link to be usable even without https. Here I managed to force https for local access only, but not if thru ngrok.io:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} !.*\.ngrok\.io$
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R,L]
</IfModule>

Note that %{SERVER_NAME} was used instead of %{HTTP_HOST}.

I am not very comfortable using non-https access, especially if I'm sharing to users that are not security conscious.
