Noticed elsewhere and duplicated here:

In the last month or two the URL format for posts (“url” column in the CSV) has changed. It used to always be https:// now it is http://.

Probably related to the change where email goes out with all the URLs as http:// instead of https://

That would put the date on or after June 30th and on or before July 6th.

(This is happening to email from Let’s Encrypt:

```html
 A brief summary of <a href="http://community.letsencrypt.org"
 style="text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; color: #006699;; color: #0088cc"
 >Let's Encrypt Community Support</a> since your last visit on

```

Tsk, tsk.)

Sure @techapj we should fix this before 1.6 release.

I believe this issue is specific to Discourse hosted instances.

Currently debugging, will post here when I have more info to share.

A bit of an aside here, but is there an easy way (as a user) to distinguish between Discourse hosted and otherwise hosted?

If you “view source” on the page and the scripts are coming from [cdn-something.discourse.org](http://cdn-something.discourse.org), that’s pretty much all you need to check.

Did you fix something? My most recent Let’s Encrypt digest arrived with https URLs back, and testing here the https urls in the post download CSV are back.

Yup we were unintentionally overriding the `force_https` site setting for our hosted customers and have reverted it.
