    Description

      In Cloud Foundry we have SSL termination, i.e. our transport path looks something like this:

         gfsh <---- https ---->  ELB  <---- http ----> Cluster

      Where ELB is an Elastic Load Balancer or HAProxy.

      When attempting to connect using a https URL, the following occurs:

      gfsh>connect --use-http --url=https://gf-plan-1-dashboard-253bff71-a09b-4f1a-49fb-ef6b13c39c34.gf1.pcf-gemfire.com/gemfire/v1

gfsh>
Exiting...

      The problem is that gfsh retrieves meta-information consisting of an index of commands mapped to URL endpoints. Even though an initial https connection is made, the URLs returned in the index are http URLs.
