unable to POST due to http -> https

for some reason my POST request keeps returning 307 redirect.

Request URL: https://*****.dev/chat/respond
Request Method: POST
Status Code: 307 
Referrer Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin

my suspicion is seeing this in the POST response headers:
location: http://****.dev/chat/respond/
and the URL that HTML is rendered is:
https://****.dev/static/app/text.html?id=abc123

but what causes this? the request is a full path to the https route, the page itself is rendered in https

I am using FastAPI, and i am not sure what information I could provide to help the debugging process
Here is how i serve the text.html file
app.mount("/static", StaticFiles(directory="static"), name="static")

my fly.toml
