Hi When I run parsoid linked to a wiki which is https only, it doesn't work. This can be reproduced in any installation. I set port 80 to be a redirect to port 443, and the parsoid URL is https://wiki.name/api.php in localsettings.js
Hmm, shouldn't this be filed under product "Parsoid"? :) Which Parsoid version and which MediaWiki version is this about?
I'm sorry, I thought Parsoid was part of VisualEditor. Corrected. Thanks. Latest git versions, of parsoid, mediawiki, visualeditor.
I just tested this with 'enwiki' and parsoidConfig.setInterwiki( 'enwiki', 'https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php' ); We don't set the port explicitly and use the API uri as-is, so in theory https-only APIs should work. Do you have a public https-only API URI we can test with?
Debug log from parsoid: - worker(23680) ready { "0": "WARNING: RETRY:", "1": {} } Retrying Page Fetch request for null, 4 remaining { "0": "WARNING: RETRY:", "1": {} } Retrying Page Fetch request for null, 3 remaining { "0": "WARNING: RETRY:", "1": {} } Retrying Page Fetch request for null, 2 remaining { "0": "WARNING: RETRY:", "1": {} } Retrying Page Fetch request for null, 1 remaining { "0": "WARNING: RETRY:", "1": {} } Retrying Page Fetch request for null, 0 remaining { "0": "WARNING: RETRY:", "1": {} } ERROR in localhost:Main_Page: Page Fetch failure for null Stack trace: DoesNotExistError: Page Fetch failure for null worker 23671 died (1), restarting. - worker(23690) loading... - worker(23690) ready I don't know if the API works from the external network, this is a protected wiki, I hope login won't be necessary. https://wiki.mc128k.info
I am experincing the same bug. Attempting to evoke VisualEditor to edit any pages where we have redirected all traffic to https results in the error. In the browser: Error loading data from server:parsoidserver-hhtp-curl-error: Empty reply from server. Would you like to retry? Parsoid displays the following upon each attempt to edit a page (in this case Main Page): ERROR in localhost:Main_Page Stack trace: DoesNotExistError: Page Fetch failure for null worker 20040 died, restarting. MediaWiki logs show the following for the request: Start request POST /w/api.php HTTP HEADERS: HOST: my.wiki.com CONNECTION: keep-alive CONTENT-LENGTH: 60 ACCEPT: application/json, text/javascript, */*; q=0.01 ORIGIN: https://my.wiki.com X-REQUESTED-WITH: XMLHttpRequest USER-AGENT: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/31.0.1650.63 Safari/537.36 CONTENT-TYPE: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8 REFERER: https://my.wiki.com/wiki/Main_Page?veaction=edit ACCEPT-ENCODING: gzip,deflate,sdch ACCEPT-LANGUAGE: en-US,en;q=0.8 COOKIE: __utma=198203634.575160840.1386267474.1386267474.1386267474.1; __utmb=198203634.2.10.1386267474; __utmc=198203634; __utmz=198203634.1386267474.1.1.utmcsr=(direct)|utmccn=(direct)|utmcmd=(none); infoUserID=378; infoUserName=Clkoerne; info_session=7200a1cbfcef48ded410afb07850a6fc CACHES: MemcachedPhpBagOStuff[main] MemcachedPhpBagOStuff[message] MemcachedPhpBagOStuff[parser] [cookie] session_set_cookie_params: "0", "/", "", "1", "1" LocalisationCache: using store LCStoreDB Unstubbing $sfgFormPrinter on call of $sfgFormPrinter::setInputTypeHook from SFSelect_formSetup Unstubbing $wgParser on call of $wgParser::setHook from ExtDynamicPageList::setupDPL Parser: using preprocessor: Preprocessor_DOM Connected to database 0 at lnxvmipdbt01 Class UniversalLanguageSelectorHooks not found; skipped loading Fully initialised User: got user 378 from cache User: loading options for user 378 from override cache.

Parsoid is only using HTTP, so trying to connect to it via HTTPS is going to fail. It can connect to MediaWiki using HTTPS though when configured to do so in localsetting.js. Please check the steps in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsoid/Troubleshooting to make sure Parsoid is working. > https://wiki.mc128k.info Your SSL cert does not seem to be signed by a trusted CA, which likely explains your issue. Try with a signed SSL cert.
I am sorry, I can't pay for a real certificate. Is there a way to add my root certificate to Parsoid? Does it use the system certificates? Or as a workaround, is there a way to permit self-signed authorities? Thanks.

Nodejs uses openssl, so I'm guessing that you can install additional CA certs in /etc/ssl/certs/ (assuming you are using Debian).
I know it works, it's a workaround. I am hosting the site in a CentOS server, but despite the research I have done some time ago I couldn't install the certificate in the system root, so neither PHP and node.js see the certificate. I will try again now. Is there any documentation you know about this? (sorry if it's off-topic)
I've followed the troubleshooting guide and I'm still having issues connecting to a https-only host. From the server I can run the following with success: curl http://my.site.com:81/w/api.php I opened port 81 to allow for http access to the api endpoint. However I cannot seem to connect to Parsoid, the app in question. curl http://my.site.com:8000 returns the human-readable landing page for the Parsoid web service. curl http://my.site.com:8000/localhost/Introduction returns no message via the command line. I can start Parsoid via node server.js I can launch VisualEditor and edit a page normally, everything works. server.js spits out the following: starting parsing of localhost:Introduction completed parsing of localhost:Introduction in 1660 ms As soon as I go to save an edit, a small note appears under the Summary box. Error: Unknown error. server.js reports nothing While Parsoid is running (node server.js) and I attempt the following curl http://my.site.com:8000/localhost/Introduction I see the message: starting parsing of localhost:Introduction redirected localhost:Introduction to revision 62067
I wanted to update this bug with my findings. I now have 1.23wmf7 and the latest builds of Parsoid and VisualEditor working happily with SSL as the default (and forced) connection method for users. In my LocalSettings.php I have the following: //Hook it up to Parsoid $wgVisualEditorParsoidURL = 'http://my.site.com:8000'; $wgVisualEditorParsoidPrefix = 'localhost'; In localsettings.js I have: parsoidConfig.setInterwiki('localhost' , 'http://my.site.com:81/w/api.php'); You can see that we're directing traffic over port 81 to allow Parsoid access. The issue I was experiencing related to saving a page was due to having an older version (pre 1.9) of Semantic MediaWiki installed with 1.23.
