Bug 433834

SUMMARY

I have a self hosted webiste that redirects https://domain.tld/.well-known/matrix/client -> http://www.domain.tld/.well-known/matrix/client -> https://www.domain.tld/.well-known/matrix/client -> https://matrix.domain.tld/.well-client/matrix/client. May I ask why neochat requires https to be used throughout the entire chain even if the final url has https? 

curl -iL 'www.domain.tld/.well-known/matrix/client'

EXPECTED RESULT

Neochat should be able to follow http to https redirects unless upstream determined that https must be followed throughout the entire chain. I do not know the expected behavior and I have already reconfigured my website to avoid this issue. Official element desktop client does not have this issue.
