Invoice modal fails in Tor Browser

See original GitHub issue

When loading an invoice after Shopify checkout, the invoice modal briefly appears and then the browser fails with an “Unable to connect” to the .onion BTC Pay Server address. I think this is because of a GET request attempting to load the .onion url over HTTPS.

From the screenshots, you can see that the onion-location response header returns the proper url, and that the failing request which causes the connection failure has a leading https.

Other Details: whitelist_onions is True in about:config This exclusively happens in the Tor Browser and seems to work fine in a Brave Tor window.

Environment:

BTCPay Server Version: v1.0.6.0
Deployment Method: Docker/Manual
Browser: Tor Browser
