WININET_E_REDIRECT_SCHEME_CHANGE

WININET_E_REDIRECT_SCHEME_CHANGE is a WinINet HRESULT. It means that a redirect moved the request between schemes, such as HTTP and HTTPS. The application must decide whether following that redirect complies with its security and credential-forwarding policy.

What to check

Record the original and target URLs, including the scheme, host and port, before following the redirect.
Block unexpected HTTPS-to-HTTP downgrades and confirm that sensitive headers are not sent to a different origin.
Update the configured endpoint or server redirect rules when a permanent scheme change is intended.
