Please make it work with HTTP self-hosted but HTTPS-Only-Mode

[Zocker1999NET]

I sadly currently do not have the time to investigate, why this Add-on seems to require to disable HTTPS-Only-Mode so it is able to connect to HTTP services (even if those are whitelisted for HTTPS-Only-Mode), but that seems not to be required, as other add-ons manage to do that (example: https://github.com/regseb/castkodi, it can connect to a Kodi instance with HTTP only with HTTPS-Only-Mode enabled when the exception for that Kodi is set).

But being required to disable HTTPS-Only-Mode, without being able to use an controlled exception for that, is certainly unsafe for most cases. The HTTPS-Only-Mode forces you to register & think about, if you really want to visit certain pages, and fixes pages with valid TLS configuration but missing redirections / HSTS. And I, for my case, only use exceptions when connecting to servers using private IPs which go through a P2P VPN (which makes configuring HTTPS obsolete).

So I ask if someone might be able to look into this before I might gain time to look into it myself.

PS: Otherwise, thanks for linkding & this extension, it saves me a lot of time for being a good solution to collect all the resources I still need to go through will working on my Bachelor thesis.

+1 here. I was struggling with the same issues and found that disabling HTTPS-Only worked fine. Even if I add the site as an exception, HTTPS-Only must be disabled

[justinwaltrip]

+1 here as well. Same issue and I would really like no avoid disabling HTTPS-Only globally for just this extension

Yeah having to disable https only mode is not great.

For those that are on linux on a tiling wm like me, this is how I've worked around this issue:

#!/bin/bash

# Ensure fzf runs search command in bash
export SHELL=/bin/bash

# https://stackoverflow.com/a/5947802
export NC=$'\e[0m'
export BLACK=$'\e[0;30m'

search-bookmark() {
  token=<your linkding token, ideally not hardcoded>
  linkding=<your linkding url>

  curl -s -G --data-urlencode "q=$1" "$linkding/api/bookmarks/" -H "Authorization: Token $token" |
    jq -r '.results[] | .url + "|" + (.tag_names | map("#" + .) | join(" "))' |
    awk -F '|' '{print $1,ENVIRON["BLACK"] $2 ENVIRON["NC"]}' OFS=' '
}

# Export function for subshells: https://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/unix3/upt/ch29_13.htm
typeset -fx search-bookmark

choice=$(
  echo -n '' |
  fzf --ansi --bind "change:reload:sleep 0.1; search-bookmark {q}" |
  awk -F ' ' '{print $1}'
)

if [ -z "$choice" ]; then
  exit 0
fi

xdg-open "$choice"

Not a proper replacement at all for the add-on, but I still thought I'd share it. I use it to quickly search linkding and select bookmarks to open, so it can at least replace the search functionality (for some).
