Http post request is trying to turn into an https request

[skier233]

Describe the bug

I am making an http request and against my will, aiohttp is trying to execute it is an https request but is failing because it doesn't have a certificate:

        logger.warning(f"Debug: url {url} ssl:{sslcontext} params:{self.combine_parameters(kwargs)} kwargs:{kwargs} headers:{headers}")
        async with session.request(
            method,
            url,
            headers=headers,
            params=self.combine_parameters(kwargs),
            ssl=sslcontext,
            **kwargs,

To Reproduce

        logger.warning(f"Debug: url {url} ssl:{sslcontext} params:{self.combine_parameters(kwargs)} kwargs:{kwargs} headers:{headers}")
        async with session.request(
            method,
            url,
            headers=headers,
            params=self.combine_parameters(kwargs),
            ssl=sslcontext,
            **kwargs,

Expected behavior

aiohttp should execute the call as an http request instead of an https request

I'm pretty sure that's not what aiohttp does. Try using allow_redirect=False: https://docs.aiohttp.org/en/stable/client_reference.html#aiohttp.ClientSession.trace_config

If it stops requesting a secure connection, then you know it's your app trying to redirect to https.

I notice that the URL is /webhook, won't you need a websocket for that anyway? https://docs.aiohttp.org/en/stable/client_quickstart.html#websockets

[skier233]

Not in this case

Another thing worth doing is updating aiohttp. There are several known issues in the 3.7 release, so better try with 3.8.
