Describe the bug A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

When the address entered for the API port is instead for the gateway port (e.g. http://webui.ipfs.io.ipns.localhost:8080/) the files tab will simply result in a blank page.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to the settings tab
  2. Click on change the api address to the gateway address
  3. Go to the files tab
  4. See blank screen

Expected behavior A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen. It should probably show an error, instead of being blank

Thanks @swedneck - we will look more closely in our next triage. Can you reliably replicate this?

yes, although on double checking reproducibility i noticed that it actually seems to be restricted to subdomain gateway addresses, like /dns4/webui.ipfs.io.localhost/tcp/8080. /dns4/webui.ipfs.io.localhost/tcp/5001 and /dns4/localhost/tcp/8080 do not result in a blank page.
