How do we allow HTTP rather than having HTTPS forced on our browsers?

Question

After updating, our browsers are now being forced to use HTTPS, but there are a few links that use HTTP as the data is all hosted locally. These HTTP links don't load on the HTTPS page which is causing some accessibility issues. Is there a way to allow HTTP web pages?

Ok, then the most likely cause is that you are running Jira on HTTP, but with an HTTPS base url.

It can only be used on one URL, and you should never mix HTTP and HTTPS, so you'll need to ask people to stop putting HTTP links into it.

It seems like our HTTPS requests fail, but HTTP on an old browser does

That suggests your network admins have set up a partial redirect to https on your servers, but mot caught every way you might be trying to use http.

I would want to check that your Jira is only accessible over https (start with the base URL) and then ask the network admins if there are any things they have missed when they redirect people to secure connections.
