Description
Stratos Version
4.3.0
Frontend Deployment type
- Cloud Foundry Application (cf push)
- Kubernetes, using a helm chart
- Docker, single container deploying all components
- npm run start
- Other (please specify below)
Backend (Jet Stream) Deployment type
- Cloud Foundry Application (cf push)
- Kubernetes, using a helm chart
- Docker, single container deploying all components
- Other (please specify below)
Expected behaviour
There should be a method in Helm to disable HTTPS and only use HTTP. We use a Gateway infront of stratos that terminates the SSL connection. Because Stratos only lets you use HTTPS you can have incompatibilities with some ingress controllers (like istio) when your backend is using self signed certs.
Actual behaviour
Stratos provides no method to disable HTTPS. the HTTP mode only redirects to HTTPS.

Research direction
Start with the Helm chart configuration for Stratos's frontend and Jet Stream backend, focusing on how HTTP and HTTPS listeners are configured and why HTTP redirects. The change is complete when Helm provides a supported option for HTTP-only operation without redirecting to HTTPS, and the chart behavior can be verified for both components.
