Connection fails if https port is open even if (unencrypted) http would work #205

My server is http only (the letsencrypt methods don't seem to support dynamic dns).

It looks like the app supports only https. Is this true?

Thanks

actually http is also supported, but we currently try to detect if https works and in that case switch automatically to the secure option. Can you give it a try and disable the https port (443) and try again? Maybe the auto-detection mechanism doesn't work well.

sridharb1 commented 4 years ago

Thank you. Even though I don't have https support, my router was accepting requests. I have turned that port off and it works. Could you please add an option to workaround such cases?

ramack commented 4 years ago

Good, thanks for the feedback. Maybe the best would be to

check if https is really available (not only the port 443 open)
enable the user to "override" the http vs https guessing explicitly, as we have so much trouble with the autodetection @voriondev can you take a look?
