Hi. The Web View action is not working with a local electronic device: a home cinema processor with local address [https://192.168.1.140:10443/](https://192.168.1.140:10443/). The page loads in Safari and chrome without warnings after including its certifidate in Keychain.

Any ideas?

I have found a workaround setting up a local reverse proxy (Nginx) to forward requests to the HTTPS server and serve them over plain HTTP. `WKWebView` can load `http://localhost` without SSL errors.

Example Nginx config:

nginx

CopyEdit

```auto
server {
    listen 8080;
    location / {
        proxy_pass https://192.168.1.140:10443;
        proxy_ssl_verify off;
    }
}

```

Then use `http://localhost:8080` in your BTT WebView action.
