ruby on rails - Nginx keeps redirecting to HTTPS for no apparent reason? -

i've set ubuntu vps , , running keep getting redirected https don't want.

this config:

/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:

user www-data; worker_processes 4; pid /run/nginx.pid;  events {     worker_connections 768; }  http {     sendfile on;     tcp_nopush on;     tcp_nodelay on;     keepalive_timeout 65;     types_hash_max_size 2048;      include /etc/nginx/mime.types;     default_type application/octet-stream;      ssl_protocols tlsv1 tlsv1.1 tlsv1.2; # dropping sslv3, ref: poodle     ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;      access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;     error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;      gzip on;     gzip_disable "msie6";      passenger_root /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/phusion_passenger/locations.ini;     passenger_ruby /home/deploy/.rvm/wrappers/ruby-2.3.0/ruby;      include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;     include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*; } 

/etc/nginx/sites-available/default:

server {         listen 80 default_server;          server_name www.example.com localhost;         passenger_enabled on;         rails_env    staging;         root         /home/deploy/example.com/current/public;          error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;         location = /50x.html {             root   html;         } } 

this output lynx example.com:

/var/log/nginx/access.log:

x.x.x.x - - [25/apr/2016:09:25:30 +0000] "get / http/1.0" 301 0 "-" "lynx/2.8.8rel.2 libwww-fm/2.14 ssl-mm/1.4.1 openssl/1.0.2g"

there configuration option in rails force use of ssl. try setting

config.force_ssl = false
