Support for HTTP links.

Aknowledgements

• I have checked that there’s no other issue describing the same or similar problem that I currently have, regardless if it has been closed or open.

• I can confirm that this is not an issue with the Discord website, but it is a problem specific to the WebCord itself. I have tested if this bug occurs on Chromium/Chrome or any other Chromium-based browser that uses unpatched/upstream Chromium engine.

• I have tried running the build from the master branch and it does not have any fixes implemented according to my issue.

• My issue describes one of the unstable and/or not fully implemented features.

• I have found a workaround to mitigate or temporarily fix this issue in affected releases (please write it in Additional context section below).

Bug description

http:// links do not open, no reaction. They work in real and bad official discord client. Workaround, copy link address and paste it in a browser.

Additional context

I think the description is obvious.

This is actually an expected behavior – WebCord does not open any unsecure links. In WebCord, everything is enforced to HTTPS and anything that uses unsecure protocol is simply blocked.

Yes, there is some reason to keep HTTP. Some small sites do not use https. Here an exemple link: http://christophe.bray.free.fr/informatique/falcon/Atari Falcon 030 versus Amiga 1200.pdf There should at least be an option to allow it. I don’t want to build it just to for that, but I may need to if this is only WebCord/sources/code/common/global.ts and you don’t understand user need to choice instead of enforcing blindly.
