I dont know why I get this error just when working on https domain, but not on http://localhost

"BDC_configFileLocation", "/WEB-INF/classes/botdetect.xml");

The path /WEB-INF/classes/botdetect.xml worked for me

Where is botdetect.xml located? In the /WEB-INF/folder of your app, or in the /resources/ folder?

If it is in /WEB-INF/folder, please try to move it to /resources/ folder, and configure the path to botdetect.xml in the following way:

@SpringBootApplication
public class YourAppBackend {

    [...]

    @Bean
    public ServletContextInitializer initializer() {
        return new ServletContextInitializer() {

            @Override
            public void onStartup(ServletContext servletContext) throws ServletException {
                servletContext.setInitParameter(
                    "BDC_configFileLocation", "/resources/botdetect.xml");
            }
        }
    }
}

Hope this helps.
