Description

Although I've enabled SSL on my spring-boot application by setting the server.ssl.key-store related properties Spring-Cloud-Consul still registers my service using a regular http address instead of https.

I know I can manually override this by setting the spring.cloud.consul.discovery.health-check-url but in that case I need to find out a way to specify the host-name (or ip-address) which is done automatically when spring-cloud-consul is constructing the url.

Can't spring-cloud-consul detect the fact that I'm running on SSL?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with the server.ssl.key-store properties enabled and inspect how Spring-Cloud-Consul constructs the registered health-check URL. Done means an SSL-enabled application is registered with an https health-check URL while the host name or IP address continues to be determined automatically.
