Web plugin breaks http links #92

Closed purrie closed 2 years ago

purrie commented 2 years ago

I noticed that the web plugin always tries to use https even when supplied with a link that uses http. I have a situation where I want to use the launcher to quickly access a server on my local host, which uses http but the plugin adds https in front of it, thus, breaking the link. I would be thankful to see this issue fixed.

What website only supports http and not https?

purrie commented 2 years ago

On the internet I can't think of any relevant examples.

I have two example uses on the local network tho. First one is a web server I develop as a learning and personal use project that lives in my local network that I don't need to use https for but I would like to have quick access to it through the launcher. Second is yacy search engine which also can live as a local server and it uses http. I thought requesting http support for the launcher makes more sense than trying to upgrade both servers to support https.

Please try the launcher branch and see if that works for you.
