HTTPS header issue with Chrome version 44.0.2403.xx
To solve my issue I have enabled mod_header on the server and added this rule to my appache2.conf file:
<IfModule mod_headers.c> RequestHeader unset HTTPS</IfModule>
The header that Google Chrome is sending HTTPS: 1 gets translated into $_SERVER['HTTP_HTTPS'] on the server side. If you are facing this issue and want a temporary fix, add the following to your wp-config.php file:
// Chrome 44 HTTPS:1 header issue temporary fix$_SERVER['HTTP_HTTPS'] = 0;UPDATE 2015-07-29
as of chrome version 44.0.2403.107 the HTTPS header has been removed and replaced by an Upgrade-Insecure-Requests: 1 header.
If you can't modify your server configuration, or only for test purpose you can use this chrome plugin Modify Headers for Google Chrome™, go into the plugin and add the action (Modify) with name (HTTPS) and value (0), dont forget to enable it.
That's it, your wordpress website will work like it should be.
