Brave github issue suggested it's a webkit issue https://github.com/brave/brave-ios/issues/6098 Description: When searching a domain with only https available. Browser will try loading http first, fail and won't load https (Even if upgrade connections to HTTPS is set to true). Only way to make it load https is to specify it in the URL. https schema should be the default not http Steps to Reproduce search for an URL with only HTTPS available example marketracoon.com enjoy the error this site can't be reached search for https://marketracoon.com notice it is up Actual result: this site can't be reached Expected result: The browser should not default to http but https (even more in this case as Upgrade Connections to HTTPS is set to true) Reproduces how often: Everytime I look at a page that does not have HTTP support but has HTTPS support (aws api gateway with regional domains websites). Brave Version: 1.43 (22.9.9.14) Device details: Iphone 12 Pro max iOS 16.0

WebKit doesn't have the logic to try https when connection on port 80 is refused, and probably shouldn't, because that's trivial to implement in a browser, and not necessarily appropriate for every other embedder. We do have upgradeKnownHostsToHTTPS on WKWebViewConfiguration, but marketracoon.com is not currently on the known list. And that's only about known hosts, not about retrying.
