Editor opening issues
Unable to open Sahi Editor on Chromium based browsers like Google Chrome, Edge, Brave
symptom
On some systems, we may not be able to open Sahi Editor, Configuration UI, Docs and Logs on Chrome, Edge and Brave browsers.
Browser shows below error:
"Unable to reach website"
or
"This site can't provide a secure connection"
cause
This occurs because the browser redirects our pages on localhost to https. For example, browser may automatically redirect http://localhost:9999/_s_/spr/editor/editor.html to https://localhost:9999/_s_/spr/editor/editor.html.
resolution
- Type chrome://net-internals (for chrome), edge://net-internals (for edge), brave://net-internals (for brave) in browser's address bar.
- Click
Domain Security Policy
in the left pane. - Click the textbox under
Delete Domain Security Policies
and typelocalhost
in it. - Click the Delete button.
infoThis issue will occur only for users opening an https application on localhost. When such users open their https-based localhost application in a Chromium based browser, the browser sets the HSTS policy for localhost to always load https version of all localhost domains.
