senjob: URL must use HTTPS: ${url}
Error message
senjob: URL must use HTTPS: ${url} What it means
The senjob provider enforces https: on every URL it fetches. assertSenjobUrl parses the URL and throws this error when parsed.protocol is anything other than 'https:'. It complements the hostname check and the redirect:'error' fetch option to pin all requests to a secure senjob.com.

Solutions
- Use https:// URLs — ideally build them with buildListUrl(page) rather than by hand
- Update any stored config/env value from http://senjob.com to https://senjob.com
- If you need plain http for debugging, intercept at the proxy layer; do not downgrade the URL scheme
Example fix
// before const url = 'http://senjob.com/offres-d-emploi.php?page=2'; // after const url = buildListUrl(2); // https://senjob.com/offres-d-emploi.php?page=2
Defensive patterns
Strategy: validation
Validate before calling
function isHttpsSenjobUrl(url) {
try { return new URL(url).protocol === 'https:'; } catch { return false; }
}
if (!isHttpsSenjobUrl(url)) url = url.replace(/^http:/i, 'https:'); Type guard
function isHttps(url) {
try { return new URL(url).protocol === 'https:'; } catch { return false; }
} Try / catch
try {
assertSenjobUrl(url);
} catch (err) {
if (String(err.message).startsWith('senjob: URL must use HTTPS')) {
console.error(`Non-https URL refused: ${err.message} — upgrade the scheme or use buildListUrl()`);
return null;
}
throw err;
} Prevention
- Store all board URLs with the https:// scheme in config — never http://
- Use buildListUrl(page) so the scheme comes from the shared constant
- Treat the https requirement as a security invariant; upgrade inputs rather than weakening the guard
- Lint portal configuration for http:// occurrences on scrape targets
When it happens
Trigger: assertSenjobUrl called with an http://, ftp://, or otherwise non-https URL — typically a hand-built list URL like http://senjob.com/offres-d-emploi.php or a config value stored without the scheme upgrade.
Common situations: Hardcoding http:// in a local/dev override; a config migration that downgraded URLs; concatenating 'http://' + host when assembling URLs in custom code.
