Hello, everyone! How are you? I’ve built a simple React.js project and deployed it to [netlify.com](http://netlify.com). `cardano-bean.netlify.app` I used the HTTP request at the app as follows. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/netlify/original/3X/3/7/37f9ddcc156969a37bb495ba092ffa53a98aabaf.png) It works well on my local browser (npm run start), but after deploying to [netlify.com](http://netlify.com), it can’t send the request and receive any response. I am not sure why I get this result. Please help me. ---

How are you making this call? Is this a Serverless Function or client-side code? ---

@hrishikesh , thanks. This is the client side call.(saga) ---

How do I trigger this? Does it directly trigger when I load the page? ---

No, it can be triggered when click the button. Once I click the certain button, it trigger dispatch and calls above API. ---

Okay, I’m assuming it’s the Buy now button you’re talking about. So the error is, you’re connect to it over HTTP on a website with HTTPS. Browsers won’t allow that. This isn’t a Netlify limitation, it’s something not allowed by modern browsers. You would have to use HTTPS for that address. ---

Thanks, @hrishikesh . So do you mean I can’t use HTTP request on my current browser? And the solution is changing from HTTP to HTTPS, right? ---

That’s correct @Anna. Your site is served over `HTTPS` and therefore resources called (e.g. scripts, stylesheets, images, etc.) need to use the same protocol otherwise you get errors such as this in the console > `Mixed Content: The page at 'https://cardano-bean.netlify.app/' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure XMLHttpRequest endpoint 'http://159.89.188.76:3000/bean/redeem'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.` The issue in your case then is that `http://159.89.188.76:3000/` is not available over `https` (ie. `https://159.89.188.76:3000`) as it would appear it is not configured with SSL. ---

Hey Anna, probably too late for this but creating and configuring a \_redirects file in the root of your build folder(or in your public folder if using an SPA like React) might help with this. For your example, in your case, the \_redirects file would look something like this: ```auto /api/* http://159.89.188.76:3000/:splat 200 ``` Then rather than call endpoints like this: ```auto fetch(`http://159.89.188.76:3000/bean/redeem?`) ``` You would need to make your API calls in this format: ```auto fetch(`/api/bean/redeem?`) // 'it reads /api/ because of how we configured our _redirects file' ``` Hope this helps. ---

Thank you @chideraao . This is a good solution. @kpavankumar you can update the `_redirects` file as below. ```auto /api/* http://159.89.188.76:3000/:splat 200 /* /index.html 200 ``` ---
