Description

We should add some "insecure connection" warning somewhere when interacting or sharing to a HTTP domain. For example when creating a federated file share, we could show a hover warning when someone tries to share to a non HTTPS domain.

Research direction

The issue names federated file sharing and interactions with HTTP domains but provides no file, test, or entry point to inspect. Start by tracing the federated sharing flow and identify where the destination domain is handled; done means an insecure-connection warning appears consistently when interacting or sharing to a non-HTTPS domain.
