So, I am calling a web service from jQuery using the .ajax method. The page that is calling the method is an HTTPS/SSL page, yet when the call is made, jQuery keeps making an HTTP request and it is failing because the server is set up to redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS...so a 301 error is coming back.
I have inspected my code a million times and tried a million ways to generate the url parameter for the ajax query. (using // for relative and now just appending the protocol https to the beginning of the url. Here is my javascript:
function add_inbound_record(serial_number, pass_fail_value)
{
pfv = pass_fail_value.toUpperCase();
url = location.protocol + // + location.hostname + /inbound/record- inspection/ + serial_number + / + pfv;
$.ajax({
url:url,
cache:false,
});
}
So, when this code executes, I check the url paramter in firebug and it shows up correctly with https and the URL properly formed. However, when I execute the ajax function I see this in firebug:

As you can see above from the referrer, the protocol is HTTPS yet the location in the response header is HTTP? I can't for the life of me figure out why the request is going across the wire as HTTP and not HTTPS. The 301 response is accurate considering it is going as HTTP since, again, the webserver is configured to only allow HTTPS access. Any ideas?
