Description

I have a freshrss installation available via port 8080 on android. Either locally installed or tunneled via ssh.

Opening http://127.0.0.1:8080 in browser works perfectly fine.

But when usind Read You I get "Service Unavailable". Is there something in Read You that prevents http connections? Or something that prevents local port access?

Either way I would like for Read You to be able to connect to a freshrss installation via http and a local port.

Research direction

No source file or test is named in the issue. Start by reproducing the FreshRSS connection from Read You using http://127.0.0.1:8080, comparing it with the browser behavior and the tunneled setup. Done means Read You can connect to the local HTTP FreshRSS service without reporting Service Unavailable.
