Why does "Is using secure protocols" in "Create new lobby" exist

[Bios-Marcel]

The user should not have the choice to disable https if the server supports it. Was there a reason for this decision? I am assuming the green box in the top indicates whether the instance is online? Doesn't this mean we can also check whether it supports HTTPs the same way?

We've got the same box in the "Find lobby" view. What effect does it have there?

If I run a local instance for testing, it does not support HTTPS, therefore this option is very useful if I want to connect to an instance that does not support HTTPS.

But we can just detect it automatically, right? There's no need for the checkbox. Just try "HTTPS" first, if it doesn't work, try "HTTP". Makes the UI simpler and less confusing.

I am not a fan of implicitly falling back to insecure methods without the user knowing that. Maybe we can warn the user that the connection is not secure at all.

Can't we just put a lock next to the address, just like browsers do it?

[BigETI]

Well, maybe...
