Describe the Bug

Hi! I've been using karakeep for a little while now (24 hours lol) and absolutely love it so far. The one issue i've had is that when you have a karakeep server that runs over http firefox will seem to auto upgrade the connection inside the extension. I haven't seen this with other extensions before and I've added an exception for my server url in firefox settings but neither of those things worked.

This may very well be a firefox problem I've just never observed another extension's http requests auto being upgraded. I take a quick dig through the extension code to see if I can find anything

Steps to Reproduce

Install karakeep extension
Enable https only mode in firefox settings
Try logging into an http karakeep server and see errors
Try adding an exception for your karakeep server in firefox settings
See it fail again

Expected Behaviour

I would expect http connections to connect.

Screenshots or Additional Context

Device Details

Mozilla Firefox 138.0.4 on nixos

Exact Karakeep Version

0.24.1

Have you checked the troubleshooting guide?

I have checked the troubleshooting guide and I haven't found a solution to my problem

from a quick glance through the code it looks like the extension is using trpc; I checked their github for any similar issues and didn't find anything matching exactly but not directly calling fetch could explain the inconsistency with other extensions calling http endpoints

@taciturnaxolotl there's really not much we can do from Karakeep's side here. We're doing normal http requests (nothing fancy or obscure), and it seems that the "https-only" forces does indeed force redirect to https?

There used to be a similar issue in the firefox extension (https://github.com/karakeep-app/karakeep/issues/23) a long time ago but it has been resolved for a while.
