tl;dr I want to browse an http
-based URL but Firefox will not let me.
A local network HTTP server is at http://host
(port 80) and the corresponding HTTPS server is at https://host
(port 443).
When I type into the Firefox Address Bar http://host
⏎, Firefox insists on changing the URL to https://host
.
Using the Web Developer Tools -> Network tab, I can see Firefox goes directly to https://host
despite my entry of http://host
. Firefox is not receiving an HTTP 300 Redirect from the server.
How do I instruct Firefox to not overwrite http
with https
?
How do I instruct Firefox to connect to http://host
?
Using Firefox 100 on Windows 10.
http://192.168.0.1
. Then I was able to connect viahttp
(to port 80). This is likely because no HSTS header (Strict-Transport-Security
) has been seen by Firefox for that host association.
