Rails application (localhost) automatically redirecting to HTTPS

Question

I've been playing with HTTPS in a local rails application using the 'answer' from the following question: Configuring WEBrick to use SSL in Rails 4

So i was running rails via a 'second /bin/rails_temp file and the https was working

now going back to my original rails file and just running 'rails s' I get redirected to https for everything

I've tried clearing cache in browsers, loading new browsers, removing /tmp/ contents

Totally lost!

do you have `config.force_ssl = true` in you application or environment file? — Iuri G., Mar 04 '14 at 16:27
did you add any rack middleware or any before_actions in application controller? — Iuri G., Mar 04 '14 at 16:39
You were right in the first case, I just hadnt removed caches properly — rogy, Mar 04 '14 at 16:51

Are you forcing SSL anywhere in your application?

For example config.force_ssl = true

Perhaps changing the port would affect the behaviour?

:Port => 3000, # Specify the port here

Perhaps your laptop is caching the state of the server so changing it's address (using /etc/hosts) would help?

It was infact your first point (thanks @IuriG. also) in my applications.rb and then removing all my caches and that worked. – rogy Mar 04 '14 at 16:50
