You need to go to https://localhost:8443/
because it's only accessible over SSL. Not sure if there's an elegant way to handle this and bounce users to HTTPS automatically?
We need to improve the docs because 3.2 is buggy. See https://github.com/internetarchive/heritrix3/wiki#latest-releases and https://trello.com/c/Inb8MW5w/29-establish-offical-heritrix-releases
@anjackson Thanks Andy. Turns out the docs actually mention this but I had overlooked it. Works now!
I'll close this issue now.
it seems that 3.3 does not allow http access? is there a way to enforce http (not https) so that we can use heritrix behind proxy?
I just ran into this same problem. A HTTP to HTTPS redirect, or a note in the docs saying you must access the web UI over HTTPS would be appreciated.
I'm trying to run the latest Heritrix build (build heritrix-3.3.0-20180529.100446-105-dist.tar.gz which I downloaded here) for some tests.
I try to start Heritrix with the below command::
This works, but when I open http://localhost:8443/ in my browser (Firefox), it only shows 6 garbled characters (Chromium returns a ERR_INVALID_HTTP_RESPONSE error). Saving the page and opening it in a Hex editor shows these 7 bytes:
Some info on Java on my system:
Here's the Heritrix log file:
The log contains a number of warnings, but I have no idea if they are related to this.
Perhaps I'm doing something wrong myself (this my first attempt at installing and running Heritrix). Anyway, if anyone could give me a hint on how to make this work that would be really helpful. (Side note: I initially tried the "stable" 3.2 release, but gave up on that because of the dependency on Java 7.)
