Change protocol of Elastic Beanstalk health checker to HTTPS instead of plain HTTP (Application load balancer)

Question

I just recently added this HTTPS redirect config file to my EB project, and now all health checks are failing because all the responses are 3XX and not 2XX.

The 3xx is caused by a redirect from http -> https that the config file I added enforces.

I couldn't find any solutions to that in the docs. I'm open to alternatives, maybe making the health-check pass if it the endpoint returns 3xx?

Thanks!

Turns out, I have configured Django to also do HTTPS redirects. Now that I turned this off and solely rely on the load balancer for this, the error is gone.
