iPad Mini Gen 1 iOS 9.3.5
I need it for a very specific dedicated purpose
all I need it to do is connect to an HTTP server on my local network for some power monitoring
security is NOT an issue
I have spent the better part of 2 hours searching for the answer to how to get
SAFARI to stop forcing HTTPS when all I want is HTTP
hep me pweez
Hey there, kholmar,
The web site you are trying to visit, not the web browser you're using, determines whether or not the HTTPS (secure) site is loaded, versus HTTP. If this is a server on your home network, we can suggest looking at its settings.
We can also provide some general Safari troubleshooting if you're having difficulty loading specific web addresses. Check out the following resources:
If Safari isn't loading websites or quits on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If Safari can't open the page because too many redirects occurred - Apple Support
Best!

in that case, why can't any browser I am able to install on my Gen 1 iPad mini establish a secure connection to it?
is the Gen 1 iPad mini simply incapable of running any browser that can handle current levels of HTTPS encryption?
thanks for the answer!
ps, I am unable to change the server settings, it is on a piece of equipment I do not have that level of access to.
if I need to put the Gen 1 iPad mini in the trash, I can live with that, I only paid $25 for it for this specific application.
I am currently using a more modern iPad for it but it's to be a permanent monitor for a thing and I want that iPad back, lol.
thanks again
You have a very old iPad, with a Safari version which is hugely out of date and can't be updated further than the maximum iOS version running on this now obsolete device.
The difference is that HTTPS is secure while HTTP is not. And, as mentioned, a browser - Safari or otherwise - has nothig to do with it.
That was my conclusion, I appreciate the confirmation
