@gingerbeardman Have you been able to connect to FreshRSS using any syntax?

[gingerbeardman]

I've had success using long URL https://demo.freshrss.org/api/greader.php

And Fever API long URL https://demo.freshrss.org/api/fever.php

But for https://demo.freshrss.org/api/ to not work is unexpected and confusing.

[hallamjeff]

Thanks. I have tried the long form with no luck and think it's possibly having issues connecting to a site with a self-signed certificate.

[gingerbeardman]

It's possible. My site uses a let's encrypt cert.

You can try with the FreshRSS demo details:

using long https://demo.freshrss.org/api/greader.php

user: demo pass: demodemo
