Yung-An He commented on HBASE-19068:
------------------------------------
Our HBase book is built from asciidoc files to a book.html.
In asciidoc file, we could define an URL link via
{code:none}
link:http://www.example.com[example]
{code}
, and it would convert to HTML format as below:
{code:none}
<a href="http://www.example.com"; style="">example</a>
{code}
In the HTML, we could also define an URL link without "http:" as below:
{code:none}
<a href="//www.example.com" style="">example</a>
{code}
When clicking the "example" link, the browser will redirect to
https://www.example.com automatically, if it has already been configured on the
web host. To see: [How to redirect all HTTP requests to
HTTPS|https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4083221/how-to-redirect-all-http-requests-to-https]
Otherwise, it will redirect to http://www.example.com.
I would replace all the URL of apache.org via the above method, and we would
not determine if the site supports HTTPS.
I have already tried the above method,
and I found that the <a href="//hbase.apache.org/book.htm" style="">hbase
book</a> would not redirect to https://hbase.apache.org/book.htm,
as well as <a href="//wiki.apache.org/hadoop/FrontPage" style="">hadoop
wiki</a> redirect to https://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/FrontPage automatically.
Since https://hbase.apache.org supports HTTPS, I suggest that configuring to
redirect the URL from HTTP to HTTPS on the hbase website host.
