Details
Steps to reproduce:
At home I visit the devices by entering a local URL, like 192.168.0.33 or http://192.168.0.33 . If for any reason the device is not reachable, Firefox changes HTTP to HTTPS and then provides an error, that the device cannot be reached, keeping HTTPS in the address. After I turn on / connect the device, it is not sufficient to refresh the website, I have also to delete the S from HTTPS. The problem report is that deleting the S in such cases is superfluous work.
Actual results:
The above happens not only, when I ender IP address in the addressbar, but also when I explicitly prefix the address with HTTPS://.
Expected results:
To avoid deleting the S there are several approaches possible, like:
- for local addresses (IP starts with 127, 10, 192) or domains (.local), HTTP is not rewritten to HTTPS
- if an entered address does not work with HTTP and does not work with HTTPS, keep on error message the initial input in the addressbar, without prefixing it with HTTPS.
