Captive Portal comes up at every website with http, but not with https

Dear all,
Everything is fine on the pfsense, Voucher is working like a charme, the Captive Portal comes up and you can put in your voucher.BUT, if you are new user, with no voucher, and you go to e.g. https - Sites, error message comes up, Site is not availiable.
Does anybody know anything about this problem?
Greetings

Is there a way to change the https request to http login at voucher portal?

At this time, no way to do this!

Two choices:
1. Do not forward HTTPS requests to the captive portal. HTTPS requests just hang.
2. Forward HTTPS requests to the captive portal and generate certificate errors for your clients.
Neither is perfect, but option 1 is IMHO better than option 2.
This is not a captive portal problem. HTTPS/SSL/TLS is designed to prevent a man in the middle from displaying content without generating a certificate error.
