[BUG] Webkit forces https on localhost

[maxibri]

Context:

• Playwright Version: 1.20.0
• Operating System: Ubuntu 20.04
• Node.js version: v14.19.0
• Browser: Webkit

Code Snippet

Here is my webkit config

//playwright.config.js

const config = {
// ...
  projects: [
      {
        name: 'safari',
        use: {
          ...devices['Desktop Safari'],
          bypassCSP: true,
          headless: false,
          ignoreHTTPSErrors: true,
        },
      },
  ],
// ...
}

Describe the bug

When running tests on Webkit, i get the following errors:

I don't use SSL on localhost. It seems like Webkit automatically forces HTTPS. All other browsers are working fine.

@maxibri Could you please share more details? What is the page url you use in page.goto()? Looking at the screenshot, it is https://localhost:3000, and I guess it should not be? Sharing the config/test would be ideal, so we can reproduce the issue locally.

Hi @dgozman,
inside my *.spec.js files i'm using the beforeEach() hook with HTTP:

test.beforeEach(async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto(`http://localhost:3000/stories`);
});

Webkit also routes correctly to http://localhost:3000, but then tries to load the resources with HTTPS

Routing with page.locator('.class').click() on links forces HTTPS as well.
All other browsers are working fine.

This seems like webkit-specific behavior. Here is a similar StackOverflow question.
