Description
Sometimes my phone forgets to refresh its DNS settings, so trying to access local resources doesn't work until I toggle my WiFi. This led me around in circles trying to setup a Read You test until I realized my phone wasn't resolving my Fresh RSS server! 😅
This could potentially cause user confusion while trying to setup their account. Here's a few scenarios I'm noticing:
- Enter invalid host - Unauthorized (should say "Address Not Found" or something along those lines)
- Enter valid host with invalid path (
[my FreshRSS host]/jkdfhjsdahjk) - Unauthorized (should indicate that a bad URL was entered)
