Description

Start a local version of the frontend with only http.
Try to connect to an api instance by only typing in the host e.g. try.vikunja.io.

Expected result

Frontend should try if there is an https version of the api and connect to that if it exists. Unsure because of possible security implications: it should follow 301 redirects.

Actual result

Frontend tries to connect to the host via http. This will fail for an https api, so http://try.vikunja.io will fail.

Vikunja Frontend Version

dev

Vikunja API Version

v0.20.4+40-5114f53307

Browser and version

Chromium

Can you reproduce the bug on the Vikunja demo site?

No

Does it work if you enter the url with the protocol?
