I'm trying to use web pod to read following url:

uri := `https://autoconfig-live.mozillamessaging.com/autoconfig/v1.1/gmail.com`
echo(WebClient(uri).getStr)

But it fails:

sys::Err: Cyclical redirect: https://autoconfig-live.mozillamessaging.com/autoconfig/v1.1/gmail.com
  web::WebClient.checkFollowRedirect (WebClient.fan:422)
  web::WebClient.readRes (WebClient.fan:390)
  web::WebClient.getIn (WebClient.fan:238)
  web::WebClient.getStr (WebClient.fan:211)
  fanPlay::GetUrl.main (GetUrl.fan:11)
  java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke (Method.java:597)
  fan.sys.Method.invoke (Method.java:559)
  fan.sys.Method$MethodFunc.callOn (Method.java:230)
  fan.sys.Method.callOn (Method.java:139)
  fanx.tools.Fan.callMain (Fan.java:175)
  fanx.tools.Fan.executeType (Fan.java:140)
  fanx.tools.Fan.execute (Fan.java:41)
  fanx.tools.Fan.run (Fan.java:298)
  fanx.tools.Fan.main (Fan.java:336)

I can read this url without any problem in Java through URL.getContent or apache http.

https is not supported, however the scheme is checked only in uri setter.

and that check was added a month ago.

Right, just tried with the latest version:

fansh> using web
Add using: using web
fansh> echo(WebClient(`https://autoconfig-live.mozillamessaging.com/autoconfig/v1.1/gmail.com`).getStr)
sys::ArgErr: Request URI is not http: `https://autoconfig-live.mozillamessaging.com/autoconfig/v1.1/gmail.com`
  web::WebClient.reqUri (WebClient.fan:55)
  web::WebClient.make$ (WebClient.fan:40)
  web::WebClient.make (WebClient.fan:38)

Does https support on the roadmap?

Yes, I would like to add at some point. I added some nodoc SSL hooks into TcpSocket for email SSL, but haven't done anything with web yet
