Last night after I pushed my latest release to the heroku git master branch the site was available via the https://appname.herokuapp.com address. This morning when I made one small change to a CSS file and pushed it again I discovered that the site is not available over https but is available over http (and everything looks right). I can't believe that a simple change to a static file could cause this. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm using the free account (planning to upgrade to hobby soon) so I can't get Heroku support. Is this just a temporary outage on their part or do I need to fix something? Thanks!

Check the logs in your heroku app to check what the problem is https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/logging – Nicolae Maties Aug 12 '20 at 15:23

Are you still using a `.herokuapp.com` domain? HTTPS should "just work" for all such domains. – ChrisGPT was on strike Aug 12 '20 at 16:24

Yes, and that is my understanding as well. And it worked until just a few hours ago. As for Nicolae's suggestion, I don't have logging turned on yet (it's a fairly new Django site) but will do that ASAP. – Bruce Altner Aug 12 '20 at 18:14

Added Timber.io as add-on and tried repeatedly to hit the https address. Nothing shows in the log. I don't think it will either because it's not even making a connection to the site. However, I'll keep trying. Nothing in the logs when I do connect over http either. – Bruce Altner Aug 12 '20 at 18:39

This is the information I get when I execute a verbose curl to the application: $ curl -vI https://app.herokuapp.com * Trying 146.112.43.243... * TCP_NODELAY set * Connected to app .herokuapp.com (146.112.43.243) port 443 (#0) * ALPN, offering h2 * ALPN, offering http/1.1 * successfully set certificate verify locations: * CAfile: /etc/ssl/cert.pem CApath: none * TLSv1.2 (OUT), TLS handshake, Client hello (1): * LibreSSL SSL_connect: SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL in connection to app.herokuapp.com:443 * Closing connection 0 curl: (35) LibreSSL SSL_connect: SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL ... – Bruce Altner Aug 12 '20 at 19:37

OK, this turned out to be a local issue with the computer I was using that cleared up as suddenly as it had appeared. Thanks for the comments and I now have logging to boot!
