I am using a Flask app deployed into Google Kubernetes Engine. The deployed application uses Waitress to serve the Flask application. I would like to ensure that all connections are over https. My deployed application currently allows http and/or https, but I would like to force https. To do so, I am trying to use Talisman.

from flask import Flask
from flask_talisman import Talisman

app = Flask(__name__)
Talisman(app)

However, when I deploy the version using Talisman, my probes fail and I cannot access the web app.

livenessProbe:
  httpGet:
    port: 8080
    path: /health
  initialDelaySeconds: 60
  timeoutSeconds: 1
readinessProbe:
  httpGet:
    port: 8080
    path: /health
  initialDelaySeconds: 60
  timeoutSeconds: 1

I tried adding scheme: HTTPS to httpGet, but the probes still fail.

Where am I going wrong?
