Description
1. Environment
- Device: [Pixel 8a]
- OS: [Android 15]
- APP: [0.13.1]
2. Describe the feature request
When setting up a FreshRSS account a host is requested. The URL expected has to end in api/greader.php. If the URL does not finish in that php file, an error (which is not possible to be read, as it looks like an HTML document) is shown.
My request is autofill the URL if it does not finish in api/greader.php.
Here is an example:
If the FreshRSS url is https://rss.example.com and the user introduces this URL, without /api/greader.php, the application will automatically adds /api/greader.php and try to connect (or, at least try appending this to the URL if the URL specified by the user fails)

Research direction
Start at the FreshRSS account setup and connection flow, then inspect how the entered host is validated and used for the GReader endpoint. Verify the behavior with a base URL such as https://rss.example.com and confirm that the app tries the completed api/greader.php URL while preserving the existing error behavior when connection attempts fail.
