Enable HTTPS-Only Mode in all windows causes network issue
My setup: Local torrent client, Deluge 2.0.3, no certificate installed Firefox 89.0 Enabled option Enable HTTPS-Only Mode in all windows Whitelisted torrent server address in Firefox by setting HTTPS only mode off for that specific site by clicking the lock in the address bar.
Open torrent: dialog opens correctly. Click Add torrent: Eventually this error appears: Failed to add torrent. Network issue
I'm guessing the request torrent control sends is passed to https for the server instead of http, forced by the global option. But the whitelist is ignored, leading to a timed out https request.
My current work around is to globally disable https only mode. I think Https only will become a default setting, so it would be nice if it works.
Many thanks forr your time spent on this extension, it saves me from having to have a locally installed client!
Looks like it could be this Firefox bug, perhaps: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1714201
That bug matches addons inner workings and how it behaves, so it does seem to be the right one.
I'm also affected by this bug, but it's a Firefox bug indeed. Too bad. ~~Perhaps a workaround would be allowing an IP address to be set in the URL field, but add an extra setting to force a Host header to be sent to allow for virtual domains/redirections/reverse-proxy.~~ Host is a forbidden header, it's not possible to override it.
