@devjn Hey man, I just want to give you a poke about the potential revert of your PR; it seems to be a cause of issue #9295, which has been reported since the latest release. Do you have any thoughts/ideas on what could be the cause?

Hi,
Honestly it should have no effect at all for iOS and shouldn't affect non background backup.

One idea I have is that probably connection is not aware of proxy.
Can try to change it with this:

val proxy = Proxy(Proxy.Type.HTTP, InetSocketAddress("auto", 0)) // Use "auto" to detect proxy
val urlConnection = URL(url).openConnection(proxy) as HttpURLConnection

Or if it is reverse proxy refusing, might be request method should be changed to "GET". From what I read it seems some reverse proxies deny "HEAD" requests

@devjn Since we don't have a proper way to test this ourselves, I think I will revert this and reopen the PR with your suggestion of adding the Proxy check and then test it for the next release. Does that sound good?

Yeah, sounds alright.
