Thank you for this wonderful app. I have just found it on F-droid. What about an option for "HTTPS-only mode" with a self-signed certificate, to hide the file and the handshake (User-Agent) to passive listeners?

It is ineffective against active or targeted attacks, which I assume not to be an issue anyway, for a user of this very simple app. So I'd not care to check the fingerprint. But the encryption still rules out a class of attacks.

Honestly, I don't plan to implement that.

This app is 99.99% of the time used within the internal network.
And HTTPS would prevent man in the middle, not leakage of data. I am not concern about MITM attack in my LAN.

But the cert would not be signed and it would probably not match the IP address. So the browser would issue a huge amount of warnings.

I don't see a problem being solved here. Sorry.
That being said, please feel free to send a pull request.
