Making a POST request internally

The code isn’t usable right away, but it does help! And I think I found the issue.

The problem is that your website is using http://, but you are making the fetch request to https://. However, when you try to visit that URL directly, you will see that your website does not have a valid SSL certificate.

Firefox pointed me to this article for more information about the error:

And this article specifically lists:

Trying to access an https resource that has an invalid certificate will cause this error.

So that’s why you get the error.

To fix this, you can do two things:

  • As a workaround, you can change https:// to http:// in the fetch function, or just change it to //digital-media-api.infinityfreeapp.com/api/${endpoint} so it will use https:// if you are viewing the page with https:// and http:// if you are viewing it with http://.
  • If you want your website to support HTTPS, you’ll need to install a valid SSL certificate. We provide those for free, but you will have to go through a setup procedure for it: How to get Free SSL (HTTPS) on InfinityFree
