Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched the existing issues and discussions.
  • I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Docker

Open WebUI Version

v0.6.0

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

Docker on Linux

Browser (if applicable)

Chrome

Confirmation

  • I have read and followed all instructions in README.md.
  • I am using the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
  • I have included the browser console logs.
  • I have included the Docker container logs.
  • I have listed steps to reproduce the bug in detail.

Expected Behavior

Should be able to connect to a non-secure tool server

Actual Behavior

Browser prevents connecting to an HTTP tool server, if the Open-WebUI instance is itself accessed via secure HTTPS

Steps to Reproduce

Serve tool server over insecure HTTP on local network
Serve Open-WebUI over secure HTTPS
Try to connect to the tool server and notice the browser console complains about "mixed content"

Logs & Screenshots

N/A

Additional Information

I suspect the connection to the tool server would need to be handled server-side... otherwise the user needs to do one of these:

  1. Enable mixed-content within their browser (not secure)
  2. Expose the tool server over https (requires reverse proxy and SSL certs)
  3. Stop accessing OWUI over HTTPS (not secure)
