Is https mandatory for remote files?

[nedd0]

Hello!

I'm doing an app and I'm still testing in the Android emulator in my computer. I included the audio player widget that comes as an example in this repo. It works fine if I use the same file used in the repo with an https url. When I use a file served by a django development server in my computer (that uses http) it doesn't work. If access the url directly it does download the mp3. I did change the url in the emulator to use 10.0.2.2 instead of localhost. I know that works because I can access an API in the same django server with no issues.

I've been struggling for a couple of days with this, I guess the problem lies most likely on the Django side, but... is there any limitation in audioplayers for this scenario? IE: only https, can't use the same computer to run both, etc?

Thanks!

The limitation is actually on the operating system side, both android and iOS don't enable non https requests by default.

That can be changed though, we have a small section on out README.md (or FAQ.md) that showns how to change that.
