(insecure_transport) OAuth 2 MUST utilize https.

[cosbgn]

My site is fully SSL secured. Yet when I try to exchange the code I get this:
(insecure_transport) OAuth 2 MUST utilize https..
Chrome shows me the following message:
The page includes a form with a non-secure "action" attribute.

Yet I can't really figure out what the problem is. I double checked and the only requests I made are to the Google Apis which are fully secured.

My function looks like this:

def exchange_code(request): #/setup
    oauth = get_oauth()
    authorization_code = request.build_absolute_uri()

    try:
        token = oauth.fetch_token(
                                'https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token',
                                authorization_response=authorization_code,
                                client_secret=settings.GOOGLE_OAUTH2_CLIENT_SECRET)
    except MissingCodeError as error:
        return error_page(request, error)

What can be the problem?

I've removed everything from the function which could lead to the problem and squeezed all in one, I even hardcoded the URL like this:

def exchange_code(request): #/setup
    scope = settings.GOOGLE_SCOPE
    client_id = settings.GOOGLE_OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID
    redirect_uri = 'https://analytic.localtunnel.me/setup'
    oauth = OAuth2Session(client_id, redirect_uri = redirect_uri, scope = scope)
    authorization_code = request.build_absolute_uri()

    try:
        token = oauth.fetch_token(
                                'https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token',
                                authorization_response=authorization_code,
                                client_secret=settings.GOOGLE_OAUTH2_CLIENT_SECRET)
        return HttpResponse(token)
    except Exception as error:
        return HttpResponse(error)

The issue is not cause by localtunnel because it happens also in my dev server.

I arrived at the conclusion that this:

 token = oauth.fetch_token(
                            'https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token',
                            authorization_response=authorization_code,
                            client_secret=settings.GOOGLE_OAUTH2_CLIENT_SECRET)

Causes chrome to say that The page includes a form with a non-secure "action" attribute.. However I still don't know how to fix it. Any ideas?

[Lukasa]

My guess is that the form uses a http URL to submit the form. Want to check?

[cosbgn]

Hi @Lukasa thanks for helping. How do I check that?

[cosbgn]

The page is indeed "not fully protected" but it's because of the auth.fetch_token, if I remove it the page is fully protected. Check this screenshot https://snag.gy/7y1Y6n.jpg

The problem still seems to be that the page is giving you a bad form. Look in the page source for a <form> tag that uses a HTTP (non-S) URL.

[cosbgn]

But the problem is that is not even a webpage. It has no html. It's just a django view which receives the code exchange it for a tokes saves it and then redirects the user to an actual page.

This might be because of "authorization_code = request.build_absolute_uri()". Have you tried printing it. It should contain "https" not "http". If it is not generating https the replace the string. Worked for me

[saumyachoudhary31]

cred_state = caches['default'].get('xero_creds')
credentials = OAuth2Credentials(**cred_state)
auth_secret = request.get_raw_uri()
print(auth_secret)
credentials.verify(auth_secret)
credentials.set_default_tenant()
caches['mycache'].set('xero_creds', credentials.state)

temp_var = request.build_absolute_uri()
if "http:" in temp_var:
    temp_var = "https:" + temp_var[5:]

It replaces "http:" with "https:"

[luckyCasualGuy]

Replacing http with https definitely works for me ... thanks @arun542 for the answer !!

This should help

import os 
os.environ['OAUTHLIB_INSECURE_TRANSPORT'] = '1'

With the following solution, I could pass the error:

https_authorization_url = request.url.replace('http:https://', 'https://')
flow.fetch_token(authorization_response=https_authorization_url)

[NowLetsJam]

With the following solution, I could pass the error:

https_authorization_url = request.url.replace('http:https://', 'https://') flow.fetch_token(authorization_response=https_authorization_url)

it works! thanks!
