Any other relevant information

Request.url is part of the URL constructor. https://github.com/hapijs/hapi/blob/master/lib/types/request.d.ts#L470 https://nodejs.org/api/url.html#class-url

What are you trying to achieve or the steps to reproduce?

I am trying to see what url was used to call my api endpoint, using request.url.href is what can be used, however it is incorrect.

Hapi says the http protocol was used instead of https.

Install ngrok, and run cli command ngrok http 3000

Run Example Server Code:

const Hapi = require('@hapi/hapi');

const init = async () => {

    const server = Hapi.server({
        port: 3000,
        host: 'localhost'
    });

    server.route({
        method: 'GET',
        path: '/',
        handler: (request, h) => {
            console.log('----------------------')
            console.log(`Requesting url is: ${request.url.href}`);
            console.log('----------------------')

            return 'Hello World!';
        }
    });

    await server.start();
    console.log('Server running on %s', server.info.uri);
};

process.on('unhandledRejection', (err) => {

    console.log(err);
    process.exit(1);
});

init();

then execute your cURL command curl --location '< https ngrok url >'

What was the result you got?

The actual log is: http://1f0b-47-20-124-200.ngrok-free.app I got the url with the http protocol instead of https.

What result did you expect?

What I expected to get: https://1f0b-47-20-124-200.ngrok-free.app

I also checked the URL class.

const test = new URL("https://1f0b-47-20-124-200.ngrok-free.app");
console.log(test.href)

this logs the correctly

an example using vanilla server to construct full url.

const http = require('node:http');

const hostname = '127.0.0.1';
const port = 3000;

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
  if (req.method === 'GET' && req.url === '/') {
    res.statusCode = 200;

    console.log('----------------------')
    console.log(`Requesting url is: ${req.headers['x-forwarded-proto']}://${req.headers.host}${req.url}`);
    console.log('----------------------')

    res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain');
    res.end('Hello, World!\n');
  } else {
    res.statusCode = 404;
    res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain');
    res.end('Not Found\n');
  }
});

server.listen(port, hostname, () => {
  console.log(`Server running at http://${hostname}:${port}/`);
});
